The Alphabet and Letter Sounds CD & DVD teaches young children the sounds of each letter in the alphabet.
Children will learn to listen to language and manipulate, or "play with" letter sounds. This is an important skill children must acquire before decoding and sounding out words. These songs provide a fun way of reinforcing letter sounds by tapping into children's love for verse, rhythm, and music.
This original CD & DVD collaboration was created especially to help children develop their reading readiness skills in a unique and effective way. Children will build confidence in their skills as they sing along and watch the songs play out before their eyes.
The rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration of these songs help children develop phonological awareness which is an essential step in learning to read. Before children learn to read words in print, they must develop the important skill of auditory discrimination--an awareness of how letters and words are used in oral language. It is upon this principle that the Alphabet and Letter Sounds CD & DVD is based.
This CD & DVD provides theme-related songs that encourage children to manipulate letter sounds and "play with language." Once children learn the songs through listening to the CD and watching the DVD, they can read along with the lyrics booklet provided. The more your child listens, sings, and watches this CD & DVD, the more your child will learn.
By listening to the silly and playful songs, children will:
*identify words that include the same sounds
*match sounds to letters in the alphabet
*identify consonants and vowels
*recognize long and short vowel sounds
*build their vocabulary
*differentiate between multiple sounds of a single letter
*develop their phonemic awareness
