Bought these just to help my son learn to recognize letters. The lowercase "a" is not the shape he will have to learn to write, but all other letters are excellently formed. The word for c is cheese as opposed to something more representative of the hard c sound (as in "cat" or "cake"). But otherwise these are beautiful, quality cards. My son loves the vivid colors. We play the memory game with just 4 pairs right now, and I never let him play with them alone because gee would bend them (they are only as thick as a typical playing card).
