Learning Path Stones

Listening and Reading Comprehension
Listening and Reading Comprehension
As children develop comprehension of books read aloud or independently, they explore the uses and functions of written language. They begin to construct meaning, eventually applying critcal skills to make inferences and draw conclusions.
Vocabulary
Vocabulary
While infants and toddlers learn vocabulary by memory, older children use word structure and context to help understand the meaning of a word. They identify synonyms and antonyms. They use prefixes, suffixes and base words to build their own vocabulary.
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").
Word Recognition
Word Recognition
As children learn to read, they must be able to "decode" the words they don't know- to translate strings of letters into words. Eventually they can recognize common words that can't be sounded out (the, said, she).
Book and Print Basics
Book and Print Basics
A child's early experiences with books greatly influence his ability to learn to read. Reading together helps a child learn how to turn pages one at a time and that text moves from left to right. Advanced readers learn how to use books for research.
Phonological Awareness
Phonological Awareness
Along with learning language and letters, phonological awareness - the ability to pick out and play with sounds in words (such as syllables and rhymes)- is essential for learning to read.
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).
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).

From the LeapFrog Parents Community

"We bought our sons (ages 2 and 4) each The Cat in the Hat gift packs for their birthdays...and they were spending at least an hour or more each day with their Tag.  We added the Cars Tractor Tipping book for our 2 year old for Christmas and Go Diego Go Underwater Mystery for our 4 year old and their usage has doubled or tripled.

We have always had books in our house, I am an avid reader, but Tag has really brought books to life for kids.

I have seen my 2 year olds speech improve, an increase in vocabulary, and he is recognizing small words (if, the, and) in other books & magazines. I think this is ridiculously wonderful and can only hope it continues at this rate.  My 4 year old is beginning to read regular books because he recognizes words and he is learning how the letters work together to make a word.  He is more reserved with sharing his learning with us, but his confidence with books has grown tremendously and it is obvious.

Yea, LeapFrog, hooray TAG!!!!"

-Barbles

 

"My 4 yr old son loves his Tag reader (especially the Dinosaur book right now).  We actually just had to purchase a 2nd one since his 3 yr old sister won't leave it alone. 

I guess I can say it is an absolute hit in our house."
