Kaufman cards--are they worth the cost?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I recently came across some posts from people recommending Kaufman

cards. The set I saw online was $199. That seems awfully expensive

for some flashcards. I use flashcards with my son everyday, as part

of our homeschooling. They are regular flashcards that teach him the

alphabet, how to spell simple words, and numbers.

Are the Kaufman cards worth the high cost?

Is there any way to find them used? Perhaps an electronic file with

all the same info, that I can print out to assemble homemade

flashcards?

Thanks in advance.
