Magnetic Letters and Numbers The color of each upper-case letter matches the color of the lower-case letter. This should help a young child to associate upper-case and lower-case pairs such as "Bb" and "Dd" more easily.

Each letter and number is made of two layers. The top layer is a rubbery foam and the bottom layer is magnetic. These letters will stick solidly without sliding or turning yet are easy to pick up and move.

Mind Benders, best-selling deductive thinking puzzles, develop the logic, reading comprehension, and mental organization skills vital to achieving high grades and top test scores in all subjects. They're also great for developing real-life, problem-solving skills.

Paperback. 56 pages. Reproducible.
