AlphaRings

A fun, hands-on way to learn the alphabet! AlphaRings are a great way to reinforce letter identification and letter sound association.

The rings feature uppercase and lowercase letters plus full-color illustrations. They are adjustable and therefore comfortable for young learners of all sizes. Vowels are printed in red, consonants in black. Includes 130 rings - 5 of each letter - and a "Tip Sheet" of suggested activities. Ring face is about 1"D. From 5 years.

The Great Action Adventure

This unique, interactive CD-ROM allows children to have fun while learning about verbs. Children as young as two years old can easily play the full-motion videos by themselves and learn the associated nouns or signs. Older children, who already know common nouns and verbs, can use a more advanced setting to learn appropriate verb tenses.
There are two different ways to use the CD: the Play Area and the more structured Teaching Area. Both areas can be fully customized for each child. You have the ability to choose which words are taught, how they are presented, and how the student is reinforced and prompted. Skills taught include receptive noun and verb matching, sign language, word matching, and verb tenses. System requirements: Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Mac OS X version 10.2 or higher.
