Each of the blocks have three special structural characteristics; a symbol or pictorial representation; a means of joining other blocks to form words and sentences only in a horizontal left to right direction; and a means of connecting to the connecting member. All four elements are capable of being united by a student that has severe handicaps in finger dexterity and arm movement. At least the following structures can be formed; sorting in vertical columns; associating the word or sentence formed with a pictorial representation of this word or sentence; words and sentences formed in rows which are parallel to each other and to the flat top surface of the base; formation of words by changing the beginning and ending consonants of a root phonogram.
