I am currently doing a project on creating a product to aid the learning of dyslexic children. My product is a Rubik's cube with letters on it, so instead of matching the colors, the children will match the letters into simple 3 letter words. A part of my project is to get comments from kindergarten teachers on my product, and I would really appreciate it if you could take a bit of time to just give a few lines of feedback on my product. Thank you very much.

My product idea is not for kindergarten children (it was designed for 8 - 10 years old dyslexic children), however for some reason our school requires us to get comments from children, parents, kindergarten teachers and primary teachers, which is why I posted on this chatboard to search for help. Nevertheless, your comments are a great help to my project, so thank you!

Mr. Jackson Hi Cherrie. I think your idea to change a Rubik's Cube,
which is a toy into something more academic is quite a
creative idea, and there's a high possibility that it
might work out well.

nursery teacher, and now I teach at a primary school. I've
dealt with a few dyslexic...See More
