The primary goal of ABC MÁGICO 2 is to help your child understand the Alphabetic Principle.

Learning the sounds of the letters gives your child the tools for reading and helps them become better readers. Los sonidos de las letras son los que dan a los niños las herramientas para la lectura. Al igual que las destrezas para contar son la base de la suma, los sonidos de las letras son la base de la lectura. Contrariamente a la creencia popular y al paradigma educativo actual, enseñarle a su hijo los nombres de las letras¡NO le ayuda a aprender a leer! SI LE ENSEÑA LOS SONIDOS DE LAS LETRAS SÍ LE AYUDARÁ A SU HIJO A APRENDER A LEER! ¡Dele a su hijo la ventaja de aprender los sonidos de las letras! The sounds of the letters are what give children the tools for reading. Just like counting skills are the foundations of addition, knowing the sounds of the letters are the foundations of reading.

TEACHING THE SOUNDS OF THE LETTERS DOES HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN HOW TO READ! Give your child the smart start of learning the sounds of the letters!
