Product Features

A great way to spend quality time with your child is reading to them and this should begin when they are infants.
Exposing children to books at this young age is the first step to peaking their future interest in reading.
Rhyming, recognizing first sounds in words, and syllable awareness are all phonemic awareness skills your child has before they are ready to start reading.
We don¹t often think of reading when it comes to our toddlers, but they start hearing about the ABCs in songs and begin gaining letter recognition starting at around 2 years of age.
Most children will begin to read between the ages of 5-6 years. But before they can read they need to gain the foundation of pre-reading skills.
