Abstract

See full text

An educational device for broadening one's vocabulary and for developing spelling skills. The device includes a generally rectangular board member that is divided by printed, colored lines into several rectangular sections. Each rectangular section includes a pictorial representation of an object, along with the spelled word corresponding with the name of that object, and a series of side-by-side tile positioning indicia next to the spelled word associated with the illustrated object. A plurality of letter tiles of substantially uniform shape are provided, each letter tile bearing the same color as that of the dividing lines on the board member with which it is to be used, and also bearing a letter of the alphabet on at least one surface. The letter tiles are of a shape and size to conform with the shape defined by the tile positioning indicia carried by the board member, to enable one using the device to spell the name of the object, either with only the pictorial representation of an object displayed, or with both the pictorial representation and the spelled word exposed to the user. Pairs of words on the board member are anagrams, to demonstrate that different words can be spelled by using the same letters.
