Speak & Spell was red
Speak & Math was gray
Speak & Read yellow

Those things rocked, I had all three. I am lol'ing a bit that you called in a Speak N Say, since the N would probably not be useful to a child learning to read or speak

Kind of tangential to that, I never thought this was particularly helpful for kids:



Not only do they replace a word with just a letter, they friggin' put it BACKWARDS. Way to mess with the young'uns.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

That's the one that I was talking about, the Speak & Spell!
That was the only one that we had, but of course, we also had an Atari! I hated playing pong and loved playing Pac Man! Never could get into Donkey Kong or Centipede though.
