Chatter Rex™ Phonics Reader Kit

Your toddler knows their letters. It's the sounds that take a thousand repetitions, and nobody has that many.

It's a small green dinosaur and a stack of cards. Press him onto any picture and he says the word out loud chair, door, table and your child taps it again, and again, as long as they want. There's a record button on his base, so the cards can speak in your voice instead of his. Five phonics decks, picture cards, and six rings to build your own sets.

Let them hear it as many times as they need.

Charge him with the USB-C cable until the light goes solid

Ring a deck together with one of the coloured binder rings

Press him onto any picture or word on the card he says it out loud

Hold the record button, say the word, release; that card now plays in your voice

Volume up and down on the base, power switch beside it

Keep a ringed deck in the changing bag — it's the one that works in the car

Tap any card and hear the word spoken out loud

Record over any card in your own voice

Five phonics decks — alphabet, short vowels, vowel pairs, split vowel pairs, consonant blends

Picture cards for animals, food, numbers and feelings

Six coloured binder rings to build your own sets

USB-C rechargeable with volume control on the base

81 pieces, ages 3+

No app, no tablet, no wifi

Is it really screen-free?

Yes. No app, no tablet, no pairing. The dinosaur and the cards are the whole product.

Will it teach my child to read?

No. It drills letter sounds and builds the repetitions that reading is built on. It doesn't replace reading with them.

What age is it for?

3+. Small parts and a 6.4 cm reader — that's a choking rating, not a suggestion.

How do I record my own voice?

Hold the record button on his base, say the word, release. That card plays your voice from then on.

How does it charge?

USB-C. Cable's in the box.

He'd have the iPad every car journey and I'd stopped fighting it. Gave him this on the way to my mum's instead and he did the whole forty minutes on the animal cards. It's not magic, he still asks for the iPad. But it's the first thing that's ever competed with it.
