About the Long Vowel Word Families CD & DVD
The Long Vowel Word Families CD & DVD introduces children to word families-the concept of combining vowels and consonants together to make a single sound. Each song teaches a new word family that includes combining only long vowel sounds and consonants. Children will learn to decode and sound out new words. These songs provide a fun way of reinforcing letter sounds by tapping into children's love for verse, rhythm, and music.
This original CD & DVD collaboration provides children with the essential tools and skills needed to begin reading on their own. Children's confidence will soar as they learn more word families by listening and singing along to the entertaining music, and watching the quick visual cues.
The rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration of these songs help children develop phonological awareness which is an essential step in learning to read. Before children learn to read words in print, they must develop the important skill of auditory discrimination--an awareness of how letters and words are used in oral language. It is upon this principle that the Long Vowel Word Families CD & DVD is based.
This CD & DVD provides theme-related songs that encourage children to manipulate word families. Once children learn the songs through listening to the CD and watching the DVD, they can read along with the lyrics booklet provided. The more your child listens, sings, and watches this CD & DVD, the more your child will learn.
