Did you know that nursery rhymes can prepare your child to learn to read? This sound book collection of
six classic nursery rhymes
is a first words book, a pre-reading skills builder, and a child's first introduction to phonics all in one!
In this fun read-aloud for toddlers and preschoolers, rhythmic, rhyming text builds oral vocabulary and phonological awareness, two
critical pre-reading skills
. Toddlers will love matching pictures to sound buttons to hear
entertaining sound effects
(
Meow!
). As children reach preschool age, press the word buttons to
hear words sounded out
("
c-a-t
cat"). "Listen & Look!" prompts throughout, such as
What sound does "cat" start with? Can you find another animal in the picture whose name begins with that sound?
offer additional ways to engage your child's pre-reading skills.
This book features:
6 classic nursery rhymes
with playful, full-color illustrations
12 sound buttons
(6 with sound effects; 6 with words sounded out. All sound button words feature short vowels, which are the vowel sounds your child needs to know to begin reading independently.)
"Listen & Look!" prompts for caregivers
to enrich the reading experience
This book develops these pre-reading skills:
A love of books and reading
Oral vocabulary
Phonological and phonemic awareness (hearing and playing with the sounds within words)
Symbol recognition
Shape recognition
Visual discrimination
Beginner decoding (sounding out) of phonics-based words
