Learning Path Stones

Phonics Skills
Phonics Skills
Before they can read independently, children must learn the relationship of letters to their sounds and be able to distinguish individual sounds, or phonemes, within words. Phonics skills help children sounds out new words (If I can read "pot", then I can read "hot" and "spot").
Consonants
Consonants
There are more consonants sounds than there are consonants in the alphabet. A consonant digraph is a pair of consonants that stand for a single sound (ch, sh, th, wh).
Sight Words and Homophones
Sight Words and Homophones
Sight words are words that can't be sounded out and so must be learned by sight (the, he, she , was, and so on). Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently, such as to, too, and two.
Vowels
Vowels
Spelling begins with regular short vowel sounds (cap) and long vowel sounds (with silent e, cap becomes cape). Finally, children learn the rules and patterns of vowel pairs (ee), digraphs (ai in train), dipthongs (oi in boil) and r-controlled vowels (farm, bird).
Art and Design
Art and Design
Creating art is an exercise in learning how to see. With increased confidence in their skills, children discover that art is a vehicle for self-expression.
Shapes
Shapes
Identifying and manipulating shapes lays the groundwork for geometry by giving children concrete experience with angles, symmetry and relative sizes.
Addition
Addition
Once children know that numbers are symbols for objects (2 stands for two cars) they learn to count sets, or groups of objects, to find sums. Finally, sets of objects can be replaced by numerals and added together in equations.
Subtraction
Subtraction
The inverse of addition is subtraction - to take away objects and tell how many are left. Once children grasp subtraction, sets of objects can be replaced by numerals in equations.

From the LeapFrog Parents Community

"We purchased our daughter's Leapster for her for Christmas 2007.  Over the last year, we saw a huge jump in her letter recognition, writing skills, vocabulary, and phonics.  After the old Leapster "took a dip" thanks to an overly-concerned 2 year-old brother, it became time to look into a new one.  Luckily, the Leapster 2 had just come out.  We had heard a little about the Learning Path, but didn't really know what to expect.  The first time we hooked it up, we were blown away!  We love that we can see just how much she's learning, and how quickly.  She loves that she can see stars popping up every time she plays almost as much as she likes to go back and show me all of the new things she's learned at the end of the day. She is about to turn five and is already mastering second grade skills!!!  We can't say enough about LeapFrog, Leapster, or the Learning Path."
