Review: LeapFrog Leap Start

Our daughter really enjoys the books for the LeapStart. I love that she can do them on her own or with us. It’s all done in a game format so the child has fun but is learning at the same time. They have a variety of subjects and books for different ages. All of them are educational from alphabet to reading LeapFrog has a book for it. The books are nice and colorful with cute pictures to keep your child engage for quite awhile.

In the back of each book is a section of the different skills that can be learned with the book. They give you stickers that match the book so you can sticker off as your child obtains each skill. I really enjoy thing aspect of the books because then it gives you an idea of what areas you need to focus on with your child. You know what can be reviewed and what you should help them with. Plus it is always exciting to add a sticker of completed skills. The biggest positive is that your child is learning so much in such a fun way that they don't even realize they are learning.

There are 2 downsides to LeapFrog. 1 is that you need internet and a computer to download the books and you only have so much space. So you have to uninstall books so you can download others. The time to download them is also really long depending on the book. I mean it took like 2 hours for one of the books. The second downside is that batteries get drain really fast with this but that could also be because my daughter plays with it everyday. I would prefer if I could just charge the base instead of having to use a bunch of batteries every month. Especially since batteries are not cheap. If you know another system like this let me know in the comment section below.

Review: All About Reading Level 4

We have finished All About Reading Level 4 ! I am so glad that we started using this program from All About Learning Press. It is hands-down the best if you want to teach anyone to read. This last level goes over the rare teams, unexpected phonic sounds, and words that are borrowed from other languages. The break down of each lesson is amazing not only for the teacher but the student as well. The games incorporated make it really intriguing for the student. I absolutely love the little readers that come with each level. The lessons are perfectly spaced out so that it isn't too much at one time. I love the way the teacher's manual is done. As a dyslexic teaching another dyslexic I couldn't be happier with the teaching method. A lot of the things taught in all 4 levels of All About Reading I learned for the first time. I had never learned them in public school but am so glad I am able to teach them to my own kids. While most American adults read at a 7-8 grade level my seven...

Review: Djeco Pompom Pictures - All Aboard

Djeco Pompom is a super cute and easy art craft for toddlers. They just put the pompoms on the corresponding dots. I like that it comes with all the pompoms you need. However, the glue stick they give you doesn’t make the pompoms sticks to the board. I tried regular glue and that didn’t work either so I ended up having to use a hot glue gun. So, I suggest having hot glue if you get this. There are small circles on the boards to let you know what color pompom goes where so it’s pretty self-explanatory. The kit does come with a small manual that it done with pictures so even your little one can look at the manual and understand which pompoms go on which board.

Review: A to Z Board Book

Books are a great way to teach kids so I like to start out reading to our girls when they are quite young. We have a lot of books especially ones with the alphabet. This book is another alphabet book for babies and toddlers but it is different because it is with animals. It is called A to Z Board Book . The main thing that I like about this book is that it is a board book. They are sturdy and they can stand up to the rough way young child treat their things. Our youngest likes to rip up books so I have to only keep board books out and the rest put away. This alphabet book is a lift the flap book so I do keep this one were our daughter can not freely get to it because she will rip the flaps off. We do read this one everyday while we do school because really likes being able to open the flaps and then say the animal and their sounds. If I had to choose one alphabet book for babies and toddlers I would go with this one. We use this board book in multiple ways. We go over the letters,...
