Brainy Laces

Available professionally printed on durable, glossy cardstock or in a downloadable PDF for immediately access.

ALL NEW STORIES! Kids read a short story on a storyboad then twist, stretch, bend, and curl colorful 3D finishing touches to the illustrations with amazing Brainy Laces! (Brainy Laces are wax craft sticks made from durable yarn coated with food-quality wax that sticks on each laminated storyboard.)

Just how 'brainy' are they?

Brainy Laces give just the right amount of resistance and stickiness to require both hands, which means both hemispheres of the brain are engaged while the kids read. The right-visual hemisphere and the left-auditory hemisphere work together with every twist and tug of Brainy Laces, laying down rich memory traces of the sound-to-symbol correspondence for the thirty-four ways to spell the eight sounds targeted in this set.

And the best part: kids love them and are highly motivated to read and play. Great, clean fun - no mess and no cleanup required!
