Review of Alphabotz Superphonic Decoder Cards


Flashcards are an integral part of our homeschool curriculum (and long, boring car rides.) To keep things fresh, we often get different sets frequently to learn math, colors, and numbers. But the most important skill we tend to learn with flashcards is phonics! That's why when we were offered a chance to try out Alphabotz SuperPhonic Decoder Cards, I flipped! Here are some of the perks to using these cards over traditional cards that just show a letter or picture:

  • 46 cards in total, and all are printed on really heavy card stock (they store nicely in a sturdy cardboard container with a slide out drawer)
  • Each card features a different letter or sound and a corresponding robot character (D is for Digger). They also have a different object with the same letter sound on their head, and some fun facts that highlight the same letter sound for repetitive (but fun) learning.
  • These cards were just named to Dr. Toy's 100 Best Children's Products of 2009!
What did my kids think of the cards? Well, my 11-year-old was able to "coach" them through the stack, emphasizing the personal characteristics that reinforced the phonics principles and brought the robots to life:



In short, even my 2-year-old was repeating the sounds and naming the pictures out loud. Just like traditional flashcards (but with more of a "collectible" appeal), these will be used often at our house!
