5.0 out of 5 stars Taught my two year old the sounds of the letters!, June 26, 2008

This is such a fun CD. I borrowed it from my local library to listen to in the car while we drive, and both of my boys love it! My boys are ages 2 and, the other just turned 4. The four year old knew his ABC's but didn't know all of the sounds, and the catchy songs have taught him all of them. My two year old also has learned all of the sounds of the letters of the alphabet as well.

The songs are super creative, and fun to listen to, even for me the parent. I highly recommend this CD to those looking for fun music for their toddler's or preschoolers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Alphabet Learning with Music, January 21, 2011

Alphabet Jam teaches the 26 letters of the alphabet including extra songs on each vowel. This could be used to introduce each letter. The "Adding Apples, Bouncing Balls" song goes through each letter saying an adjective and noun and then the letter's sound (i.e. resting rabbit, /r/ /r/). The vowel songs remind me of the songs on Starfall.com. The rest of the songs are tongue-twister songs containing several words representing each letter's sound.

The CD contains songs that are upbeat and fun to listen to. I love how they include children singing both solo and in a choir. Each song focuses on one concept and included repetition of sounds and words to help the child remember both the words and concept. Ms. Bollinger's voice is relaxing and simple to listen to. She combines her experience as a music therapist with that of parents, speech and language pathologist, and other child professionals.

There is a direct correlation between music and learning. Children and adults are able to remember concepts for many years when they are put to a rhythm and pitch. This CD will help children remember the sounds of each letter in the alphabet.
