Loved that it helped with difficult words and allowed numbers and letter writing to be massively improved. His letter and number formation is a bit sloppy still so I am using the writing books with Mr Pencil to help him improve. I also found that the reader was a little bit big for my son to hold but on the other hand if it was smaller and less sturdy it probably would not last as long.
