Phonics is the Key to Reading Success

On Hip Hop Avenue, we see the world through kids? eyes.It?s colorful, vibrant and full of learning potential. But it?s about morethan just understanding ABC?s - it?s about being part of a community wherelearning is rewarding and fun!    

Children join familiar JumpStart characters in a placewhere reading, words and sounds abound. In and around the street, kids areintroduced to letters, sounds, words and sentences in a playful and natural way,through captivating interactive games and the power of rhythm, rhyme and music.

Kids learn to be goal oriented as they focus on learning manageable groups ofwords that open up new songs to sing along with and record in the KaraokeClubhouse. Let Val, the clubhouse supervisor and neighborhood mentor, nurtureyour child?s fondness for reading as she acknowledges even the smallestvictories along the way by providing instant feedback and encouragement throughVoice Activated Learning.




Introducing Voice Activated Learning ? V.A.L.
Educational research indicates a strong link between speaking words andphrases aloud and developing early reading skills. Voice Activated Learning(VAL) is an effective way to teach language development and reading, using thelearner?s voice to activate and reinforce the learn-to-read process. VALprovides feedback of words read aloud into the included microphone, offeringhelpful hints and enthusiastic encouragement. In developing the VALtechnology we are most concerned with developing confident readers. For thatreason, we have sharpened the technology to ensure that it recognizes when aword is said correctly by little voi

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy your own mic., December 28, 2007

By	BigD "TwinMom" (St. Charles, IL) - See all my reviews

VAL is "Voice Activated Learning". The software comes with a microphone. Throw the thing away before you let your kids use it to play the game. My boys had to yell LOUDLY into the cheap mic to make it work. All of the noise was bothering me so I spent $9.99 at Target and got a better mic. The Target mic works a hundred times better but my kids still yell into the thing as if it were the cheap mic. Disregarding all of the noise, the games are fun and have kept my 5 1/2 year old sons entertained for minutes at a time.

My 6 year old daughter just loves this game. It comes with a small little microphone so that she can say the words and it actually tells her if she is right. Good for a first grader.
