Lovevery Reading Skill Set (HONEST REVIEW)

[@Kryzano]

Hello, Im usually a quiet follower and hardly ever feel the need to comment on videos. However, this year was my first year of homeschool with my 5 year old, completely overwhelmed by the idea of educating and where to start. I purchased Part 1. Off the bat, the quality and the amount of items you get is worth the $155 and I love the idea that we can purchase one part at a time so that if on a budget, you can work your way to saving for the next. Each part, as I have learned, takes time so you’re not purchasing a box back to back. You have time to enjoy each set. I have used this as a part of my curriculum for my child. A guide is provided on how to introduce each piece and when to introduce them. My child is excited to learn and to be able to play a “game” is what he looks forward to the most, not to mention the quality one on one time it gives you and the child to engage, be present, and have fun. Best part is my 3 year old gets to enjoy it right after my 5 year old. I have ordered the second part and look forward to it.

[@toddlerscanread]

Thank you so much for this review, I know it will help people. Keep up the good work! 👏🏽

[@VickyLashenko]

Wow thank you so much for making this informative video! I’ve been looking at their reading kits and was very interested. I absolutely love all their other products but was a bit on a fence for the reading kits because it seemed very overwhelming with so many parts and games. But then I remembered that each lovevery kit comes with instructions and what to introduce first and next. Thank you so much for bringing in the families, this makes video production so much more challenging and I so appreciate the effort and time you put into this helpful video! Thank you so much!

[@toddlerscanread]

You're very welcome!

I’m a mom and an English teacher in Korea and my kids are bilingual but at school they mostly only speak Korean and their English education is up to me so I was so excited to get the email when this released! I’ve ordered ours and my son is learning to read and your videos have helped me explain things to him, but I’m excited for a hands on and comprehensive way to teach him in a way that makes him feel more confident and excited ❤ I’m anxious to see how it is in person but it looks fantastic and I was a Lovevery subscriber for a long time so we have looots of experience with Lovevery products. I usually love to sit down and read the guide books before I give my son the play kits and they are always really well-written.

[@erumahmed7804]

Can I get decodable book for free for my son as a giveaway please

[@sushmita30]

I bought reading skill set 2 for my 4 yr old's birthday. He has been at Montessori and has learnt basic letter sounds already but is ready to learn more and get ready for blending. We love love love this set and it keeps him and his 9 yr old super busy and engaged. He loves working through the materials with me or even independently. We also had the 4 yr kits so this ties in perfectly as next steps post the alphabet puzzle and the alphabet set from persister kit.

[@toddlerscanread]

Love to hear it!

[@lisar5418]

I've been using Lovevery sets with my son since he was 3 months old. At a year and a half I find he loves their toys the most out of all the toys he gets. They are high quality and build on each other. They only other brands that comes close I've found is Manhatton Toy Company and Melissa and Doug. I've also been watching your videos and its great that you are working with them.

[@toddlerscanread]

The quality is insane! Thanks for the support, I'm glad to be working with them as well.

[@aeligene613]

I know it’s expensive but I need to invest in my child. He is so active and love playing, so I think this will be great for him and it will keep him away from the tv and tablet. We are definitely going to buy it.

[@BaoTran-lh2jk]

Omg i have jumped into your videos recently. I'm not a native speaker, i'm vietnamese and try to learn the english but almost the teacher in my country have taught us with IPA sound and i realized this is difficult for us to reading a new word. Because we cant know the rule we have to remember the sounds not how the letter make sound. When i saw your videos i know what i need to study to became a fluent speaker. Thanks a lot❤❤❤❤

[@clusmanfamily1155]

I really appreciate the “things to consider” section of this video. Especially the point about this not being a minimalist set. It’s the first thing that stood out to me. Still might be worth it, but a set with this many small pieces is a big responsibility for parents. So it should be considered.

[@gabriellerichards5927]

Love seeing some of the families from some of your course videos and how their little ones have grown and progressed in their reading. ❤

[@toddlerscanread]

They've grown so much!

[@kathleenh.pankin9847]

Thanks for the timestamps!

[@rickyc859]

Hi Spencer, my question is - does the kit include detailed instructions on where to begin? Is there a lesson plan of sorts that I can follow? I need a LOT of hand holding, have no clue where to start. I'm a loyal fan of Lovevery play kits, been a subscriber since baby was born, and I also love your channel, so this is a perfect match!

[@toddlerscanread]

Hi there, there are expert videos you'd have access to and lots of tips for how to use the games and materials. There is less of a "lesson plan" approach, that's one way my courses could support parents as they use the kit.

[@librarygyal0589]

I bought part 1 for my 4 year old who has been working on letter sounds and he loves the games waaay more than I expected! He’s having fun with the rhyming leaf game and the dog syllable game.

[@toddlerscanread]

Love to hear it!

[@untypistown3791]

Will it be available in the UK.?

[@srayec.7741]

I love the idea. My child has ASD and ADHD with developmental delays. He can read but does struggle he is like on a 2nd /3rd grade level. Is there a level for him. He can read and recognizes lots of words but sometimes it’s inconsistent and we working in fluency. I love ur content!

[@alexg1347]

I love this reading skill set. After the TCR email announcement came out, I ordered all three parts. After using Part 1 for the last few weeks my kids love the games. I have to admit, the compound word pairs card game is actually still stumping my 5 year old, but he loves the syllable race, rhyming leaves, sound maze thing, blocks. They also love the two big books. Both ask me to read the ABCs with Mr. Z multiple times a day. Love that the book clarifies the short sounds like /b/ instead of ‘buh.’ The efficacy, fun, & visual and tactile quality of the materials= 10 in our house. The only thing I’d rate like an 8.5-9 is the compound word pair game. Love that you posted the letter hitting game thing in another short video. I took the groups outlined by Lovevery (a,m,t,s,i,f; b,e,l,n,r,v; etc) and played that game. My kiddo who could only identify one letter now knows all the sounds & even tries to write. I have tried a bunch of other stuff- How to teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons, All About Reading, Hooked on Phonics subscription/books- and this Lovevery kit is the first that has it clicking for my 5 yo. Now he’s blending to do 3 letter words. KUDOS to you/Lovevery! To see my kid talking & excited about the games is well worth the price (esp since he had an expressive language delay and for a period of time people thought he had selective mutism). This Reading Skill Set rocks. Looking forward to breaking open the other parts in time!

[@toddlerscanread]

[@lifelove8323]

What is ur opinion on using this stuff for mild autistic kids who need extra help and recognise alphabets..

[@toddlerscanread]

The key here is that it's 1:1 instruction using a super high quality program. And to me it's not only HELPFUL for kids autism (and other learning differences), but it's what they DESERVE.

[@Eliza_sun]

@@toddlerscanreadamen! There’s no such thing as mild-severe autism. Those are outdated, ableist words. I appreciate this response. It’s about neurodivergence and what each child’s/individuals needs are. It’s imperative to understand this. Always assume competence.

Can I just purchase the reading kit alone ? Not like an annual membership?

Yes, no annual membership required.

My girl is 20 months. I purchased your printable flash card but she seems to not be able to focus or to repeat after me. Any suggestion on how I should start with kids under 2? Thank you!

[@toddlerscanread]

Hey there, it helps to play lots of games with just a few sounds at a time. And your little one doesn’t necessarily have to say the sound back to identify the sounds. For example: “jump on the sound that says S”, and she jumps on that sound. More info here in my free training if you haven’t had a chance to watch it: www.toddlersread.com/pages/free-workshop

[@theeberhartfamily608]

I have a son who has had some developmental delays since birth. He is 6 years old and knows all of his sounds and letters, but he struggles with blending sounds together to sound out words. He even struggles with 3 letter words. I homeschool him and he goes to private therapies throughout the week. Which program would you recommend to help him learn to blend sounds and read better?

[@toddlerscanread]

Check out this blending resource to help you check his blending level. www.toddlersread.com/pages/blending-cheat-sheet-1 If you want an online course and resources to teach you how to work with him on blending step-by-step, my Blending Words course is great. If you're wanting hands-on materials for blending, books and games for that stage; Part 2 of The Reading Skills Set is great.

[@toddlerscanread]

There's advice on age in the final recommendations at the end! Kids can definitely start learning to read before 2 (I started with my son around 18 months) but you'll have to be careful what you purchase since there are some small parts in The Reading Skill Set which makes the recommended age 3+

Hey! We have 5 kiddos all of which are 9 and under. Our 3 oldest have struggled to read for different reasons even with the help of a tutor. We are currently on our 8th reading curriculum trying to find something that works well with our kids and their learning differences. Any advice for our family? I think the lovevery box will work well with the currículum we are currently using.

[@toddlerscanread]

Hey there, I’d recommend finding which part you think will match your reader’s skill level the closest and then get really clear on the phonics skills your 3 oldest know and don’t know to make the best use of the materials in the kit and your curriculum you’re using. If you want more direct support on how to teach those reading skills, my video courses might be helpful to you. I’d recommend checking out my free beginning reading workshop made for parents- while the skills might be too advanced for your oldest, it will give you a good overview of the learning to read process and an idea of if my online courses would be helpful to you. www.toddlersread.com/pages/free-workshop

Thank you Spencer for your hard work into these books. I have been teaching my daughter through your video's. My next step was to purchase the TCR decodable books through your website as she has learned 3 letter words. After seeking this video, I would like your opinion if I should hold off on the decodable book and invest in the Lovevery Reading Skill set first?

[@toddlerscanread]

That really depends on your goal, and you won't go wrong either way. The TCR decodable books are great for practicing after 3-4 sound words. Any of the 3 parts of the Reading Skill Kit will give you lots of materials to practice skills in a hands-on, fun way with your child.

[@kayreyes93]

Right! I love the concept but too much🥴😩

[@rr1kh]

You can check on internet what every monthly subscription order contains and try to purchase the same at lower costs. That’s what I do.

[@BreeSB]

Also, it's all from China! They are paying Chinese wages while we are paying domestic prices. I was infuriated to learn that. I had assumed it was made with higher standards of materials but they just call it "non toxic " even though we all know the term "non toxic" means vastly different things to our government vs. theirs (and ours isn't even that great! 😂) what China considers "safe" is definitely not even close to what I want anywhere near my child or in our home.
