Fun With Personalized Early Reading Kit

“Fun” is how I would describe our week.

No outings.

No movies.

No playing in the playground.

No shopping.

No buffet either.

We were home, reading and learning with some personalized learning products!

It was amazing looking at my children enjoying themselves with the activities I have set up for them using the learning products and I would love to share them with you.

This early reading kit consists of a set of labels, a set of flash cards, two books and a writing pad. The children were so excited when they saw Nyn’s (my daughter’s) photo and name appear in the books and cards.

We first had fun in a so called “treasure hunt”. The children were given a label each and they had to look for the object stated in the label and stick the labels to the objects. Then they were made to spell and pronounce the words.

Sticking labels to objects

Next, we brought Nyn for a tour with Karl (my eldest son) as the tour guide and Wayne (my middle child) as the assistant. Karl would ask Wayne to read each word in the label and have Nyn to repeat after him. Karl learned how to teach while the two little ones learned how to read and associate words with objects.

Now, Nyn would go “M.O.M, MOM” and "D.A.D, DAD" each time she sees our computers. She never knew how to read or spell these two words prior to this. How cool is that?

Can't be sticking these labels on our foreheads, right? So, we we stick these two labels on things which belong to us - our computers!

Next, we played the “matching game” where we match the flash cards to the labels. Nyn was assigned to do this and she was beaming with pride every time she made a perfect match!

The flash cards

The children were excited about the books as well. They kept handing me the book and asked that I read to them.

The Books

Book - Level One uses simple sentences which are repetitive. The highlighted words are the same words that appear on the labels and the flash cards. Book – Level Two uses more complicated and personalized sentences with the same highlighted words as Book – Level One. These books had become our bedtime story books replacing all other books at the moment.

I can't tell you how happy I was when I found this learning kit. Prior to this, I was thinking about making my own book, using my children's names and photos and that would mean a lot of effort and time on my part. So, when I found this, I was smiling and grinning!

The writing pad is a good mean to introduce writing to the children. Children would be able to see that writing can convey messages besides speech. Although I have not used this, I am pretty sure that my children would love this writing pad.

What I love about this learning kit is the repetition which enhances children’s learning ability as well as the personal touch where the children can associate objects in their house which they see everyday to the words printed. For me, I had fun selecting the words and taking photos that match the words and most of all, seeing my children enjoy learning!
