The Leapfrog Phonics Learning Desk (ages 2-6) albeit a little more expensive is a great toy that encourages reading. It teaches the ABCs, the alphabet, numbers, pre-reading and pre-math skills. It's easy to put together, it's light and is the perfect size for young children. Kids sit in it on and off and usually love to use the pen and the book. They also become increasingly interested in learning how to write.
There are other toy companies that provide phonics toys. Fisher Price has a toy called Kasey the Kinderboot, a phonics robot (ages 10 and up). The toy is a lot of fun to play with and it can help your child develop academic and social skills necessary for your child's success in school. The toy is so interactive that your kid won't realize that he is learning about reading, math, spelling, problem-solving and even... etiquette!
Finally, there are also phonics games that look like little comics books. Children flip through the pages of the comic book and touch designated spots with a pen or with their hand. This really makes the reading experience fun. The phonics books are usually small enough that they can be carried, ideal when you are on holidays traveling. One such comic book is the Phonics Comics the Fearless Four. The comic book is perfect for early readers and it includes three exciting and easy-to-read stories.
You can also find interactive electronic pads and interactive writing tablets which are very popular and which can help kids learn how to read and write. Usually children touch designated spots in the pad and the pad will respond by giving out a sound.
