Hello, Dave,

If your grandson is sighted I wouldn't use the magnetic system, but that's 
only my opinion. I haven't needed to resort to that kind of method with our 
children. As long as you know what some of the notation looks like and are 
asking your child to look for it you should be ok.

Kind Regards,

Alison Trelfa.
