The new complete way to prepare for the first day of Kindergarten. Introducing the new My First LeapPad learning system shaped like a school bus. The My First LeapPad platform works with the entire library of My First LeapPad books that teach the pre-reading, pre-writing and other preschool skills to prepare children for the first day of school.
There are 2 fun ways to play with the platform. You can either use it with the library of over 15 books including popular characters such as Dora the Explorer, The Wiggles and SpongeBob SquarePants or use the platform as an interactive phonics bus. When the book is removed, children can explore letter names and sounds by touching the letters printed on the bus. There are two fun letter games and "The Wheels On the Bus" song built right into the platform.
What it Teaches -
The books in the My First LeapPad library contain shorter stories to teach ABCs, numbers, phonics, and pre-reading, pre-math and pre-writing skills.
Reading & Language -
Language arts refers to the elements of language use — typically oral language (speech); listening; reading; and writing, including spelling and vocabulary. Reading refers to the process of understanding a written, linguistic message; the process of obtaining meaning from printed language; or the process of orally expressing printed language in a meaningful way.
Reading -
Reading refers to the process of understanding a written, linguistic message; the process of obtaining meaning from printed language; or the process of orally expressing printed language in a meaningful way. Reading is primarily a function of decoding skill (the process of getting meaning from written symbols) and listening comprehension. Most developing readers understand more of what's read to them than they can read themselves, but by third or fourth grade, most children can read a written text and comprehend it as well as if it were read to them. Reading success for preschoolers and kindergartners depends upon their oral language skills, letter knowledge, print awareness, and motivation to learn about and appreciate different forms of writing (e.g., letters, story books, nursery rhymes, nonfiction books, lists of things to do). Children develop early reading skills by building upon their understanding that words are made of sounds (phonemic awareness) and their understanding that these sounds are represented by letters of the alphabet. Therefore, rhyming and alliteration play key roles by calling attention to the sounds of language. Encouraging children to write and giving them many opportunities to read are also important. Preschoolers and kindergartners properly pronounce an increasing number of words, know synonyms for common words and even begin to understand the structure of words (e.g., compound words such as "flashlight," simple prefixes such as un- in "unable," simple suffixes such as -ing in "running"). As children develop listening comprehension, they explore the uses and functions of written language. Children practice and enhance their vocabulary, language skills and comprehension skills by discussing what's read to them, predicting upcoming text, asking questions, or retelling stories they've heard or read themselves.
