We were recently sent the new Alphablocks Volume 3 DVD to review from Abbey Home Media. This new DVD is all about Letter Teams and making simple words ie putting two letters together to make one sound. Phonics has been used in schools for some time now and what better way to get your child started than with Alphablocks which makes learning fun.
The Alphablocks are 26 letters that come to life and fall out of the sky to make words by joining hands, there are lots of adventures, songs and games on the way that your child can join in with. Although we have not watched this DVD, Grotbags was a huge fan of Alphablocks and I do think it helped with her phonics as she struggled at school when she first started. The DVD runs for 87 minutes and is available buy from all good stockists.
Grotbags decided that she may be a little too old for this DVD and therefore I thought I would run a competition to give one of my friends the chance to win it.

I was sent a copy of Alphablocks Volume 3 for the purpose of this review.

ReplyDeleteUsborne phonic readers... ploughing our way through shark in the park, fat cat on a mat, fox on a box, frog on a log, goose on the loose, hen's pens... There are about 12 books in the series and are fantastic as the words are carefully chosen , the characters and their personalities turn up again and again... perfect for reading to children as well as shared reading.

ReplyDeleteWe always read simple, picture books with our little ones, and spend ages sounding out the sounds in the words. We also have phonic apps on our tablets and on the computer, that are brilliant for helping them.
