Leapfrog – Disney The Princess and the Frog The Magic of Love

After the story, play learning activities that help build vocabulary and reading comprehension skills. Memory Skills Memory skills are essential for learning. It is fairly easy to help your child train their memory using memory games, poems and particular memory strategies. Music From birth, children love music and even prefer it to speech. Apart from the obvious joy of music there are a number of surprising benefits to listening to music: it helps develop language, problem solving skills, memory, and physical coordination. Listening and Reading Comprehension As children develop comprehension of books read aloud or independently, they explore the uses and functions of written language. They begin to construct meaning, eventually applying critical skills to make inferences and draw conclusions. Vocabulary While infants and toddlers learn vocabulary by memory, older children use word structure and context to help understand the meaning of a word. They identify synonyms and antonyms. They use prefixes, suffixes and base words to build their own vocabulary. Early Number Sense As early as 6 months, babies begin to understand the concept of numbers, noticing small groups of one, two or three things. As children develop number sense they learn to count by ones, count and count backwards, gaining the foundation for operations. Children who have good number sense find learning operations like addition and subtraction much easier.
