Read full descriptionHide full description
With Alphabuddy children (age 2 - 6) will practice tracing the letters of the alphabet. This is done with the help of unique hand-crafted plasticine letters and exclusively illustrated animals. Your child will learn how to write the letters, while youβre busy working, driving, or in line at the supermarket! Childrenβs critical reading skills have declined during the pandemic, with the potential destructive consequence being a lacking self-esteem in their adult lives. Research shows that: -Reading helps to stir the imagination -Reading helps to build character -Reading helps to keep focus -Reading promotes deep thinking Bottom line: although games and video have a place in their lives, your children could be missing out on the most important skill if there is little room for learning the alphabet at an early age. Key Features: -Practice writing the letters of the alphabet One of the most effective ways to teach children to read separate letters is to let them trace the letters of the alphabet. Alphabuddy does just that! -Associate the letter to an animal The animal illustrations were created exclusively for Alphabuddy. They help the child link a letter to an animal, creating a fun and playful environment. -Stay on track with reminders when itβs time to practice next Too many to-doβs to keep track of? We hear you. Add Alphabuddy to your routine by simply setting up a reminder to pop up on a scheduled time and day. It could be when itβs time to wash the dishes, connect to the meeting or right after nap time! Perks: -100% ad-free and kid-friendly -The letters are unique and hand-crafted from plasticine, making them memorable and easy to recognize -Energetic female voice-over and happy music -Colorful and super-easy-to-use design Plan options: -Alphabuddy Free Learn and practice tracing the hand-crafted letters A to E with a little help from our best friends: the Alligator, Butterfly, Cat, Dolphin and Elephant. -Alphabuddy Premium Trace the entire alphabet of hand-crafted letters from A-Z with the rest of our unique custom illustrated animals for only $4.99.
