Teaches:
Phonics skills To read independently, children must understand the relationship between the sounds in spoken words and the letters that represent those sounds.
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).
Sight words Sight words are words that cannot be sounded out (the, where, etc.), so they must be learned by sight and memorized.
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)
Art and Design Creating art is an exercise in learning how to see. With increased confidence in their skills, children discover that art is a vehicle for self-expression.
Shapes Children learn to recognize the defining properties of shapes (such as a square having four sides of equal length and a triangle having three sides) and identify them in different rotations.
Addition Children learn to add, sometimes with objects, and sometimes with symbolic equations such as 4 + 3 = __.
Subtraction Children learn to subtract quantities from each other - with objects or symbols such as 4 - 3 = __.
Requires 4 AA batteries. (Batteries not included.)
