PHONICS 4 BABIES - BABY'S FIRST WORDS

Mallory Lewis is wonderfully fun and entertaining. She continues her Mom's legacy in engaging your child and introducing her to the wonders of language. Through a variety of segments with her puppet (child) Giggles, you feel right at home playing word games, learning about the alphabet and the letter sounds, colors, shapes and opposites. Mallory's bubbly personality and the songs she sings, pull you in along with your child to the wonder and magic of new learning. She makes sure to model praise and a job well done and helps to set down the tone and appropriate learning environment that you can emulate in your interactions with your child. The interview with Dr. Novac is an informative conversation that provides excellent information regarding children's speech development, emphasizes the idea that all children need stimulation and the cultivation of language development starts at an early age. By talking with your baby, repeating words and responding to child's "baby talk," your interaction guides your baby to recognize the words you say, mimic your speech and aid in his early speech development. The DVD offers a variety of short segments such as showing pictures of three objects and makes a game out of saying and repeating their names - helping toddlers develop new vocabulary through the use of this repetition. This title is also a great tool for English as a second language. In addition to the feature episodes, Alphabet Words and More, there is an additional bonus episode, Animal Words and More!
