The Alphabotz flashcards have a robot character on the top of each card. On top of the robot's head is a picture of an item. The picture of the robot is to install a memory trigger for your children to help them remember a certain sound or letter. With 26 letters of the alphabet, there are 46 cards to the Alphabotz cards. Not only do the Alphabotz flash cards introduce the alphabet, there are also different phonetic sounds displayed.
These flash cards are perfect for me, considering Caleb is currently a "pre-schooler," and Madelyn isn't too far behind. They are learning together, essentially, with being home. They love playing with the cards and saying what is on them. Caleb is really liking to sound out his letters, know what letter makes which words, and so on. So the Alphabot Flash cards are a hit, and they are working to help him learn. He will eventually put together that the letters/sounds will belong to the words he is speaking...therefore promoting reading. That is the intent of these cards.
Caleb is learning how to spell and write his name, and we have been "finding the letters" of his name in the Alphabotz cards.

I like the content on the cards. It has the capital and lowercase letter plus pictures of things that begin with that letter. As a Kindergarten teacher these are skills that I cover daily.

I learned that they have "stats" on the cards which include the Alphabotz ability, secret phrase, and home.

I learned To bring the ALPHABOTZ to life, Pat has drawn on her lifetime of experience as an elementary- and university-level educator; as a practicing graphic designer, illustrator and business owner; and, of course, as a mother of two.
I see that on Amazon they have great things to say about these. By seeing them I have to agree. My daily entry.

What a neat website. I am a homeschooler and would LOVE these cards. I found this part interesting, reading about how she came up with the idea:

Would you believe I actually dreamed about these cards last night?! Haha. I did. I went to bed way too late after staying up on line and had a dream that I had abilities like in the show Heros hehe. And I had to use these flash cards!
They do look wonderful.
Thanks again for hosting it.
I see that Alphabotz are one of Dr Toys 100 best products!
About time for me to start schooling today and I keep thinking about how good it would be if I had me some of these flash cards (at least they stayed out of my head while I slept last night!)

I am home pre-schooling my kids and would love these!

"Each ALPHABOTZ character represents a sound in the English language, and wears its identifying letter/sound on its chest"
- I love that each letter has a creative and engaging character. What a fun way for little ones to learn the alphabet, and so much more!

I find it very interesting that the cards give 3 examples/pictures of what the letter starts with, usually you see just 1 like A is for apple and such. Thank you for the chance to win!

I like that the Alphabotz are characters throughout all the products, so if I was to buy something else then my daughter would recognize them! My daughter is three and is learning letters, and she loves being quizzed with flashcards!

I like that the cards have clever designs on them to make learning fun
I find it interesting that there are different examples for the different sounds each letter makes. I've never seen that on a flash card before.
I also like all the colors on the cards. I babysit 2 small children and they are attracted more to products that offer vibrant coloring.
Alphabotz are one of Dr Toys 100 best products :)

i like that they are sold on amazon.com

Not interested in entering the contest but would like to say thanks for introducing me to these cards. They will help me in teaching English as a second language
I learned that they cards are a multimedia program for children ages 3 and up, designed by a parent and teacher to engage and build confidence in beginning readers by personifying the abstract concept that LETTERS equal SOUNDS, SOUNDS build WORDS, and WORDS tell amazing STORIES. Honestly, these cards look more interesting that the ones they use in my sons speech therapy class.. I know it's a little different but not really.. love them and wish I had some to help my son
