With '51 Languages' you can slow down the individual words and conversations 10-50 per cent less than normal. The Alphabet Safari Blue needs help from young pre-readers. However, Blue from Blue's Clues needs assistance collecting words for his Word Book.
Children help out by playing six activities to gather letters for each word.
In one activity, for instance, children make rhymes with words on Blue's bath bubbles. While many four-year old kids can identify words that sound the same, the time required between hearing the two rhyming words is long and our younger testers forget the sounds. Matching letters to their sounds with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper is also a tough activity, as some of the words and pictures are unfamiliar. Other activities include guiding Blue through a maze by following the letters of the alphabet and completing letter and word puzzles with Felt Friends. In all, Blue and her friends help strengthen early learning skills, including initial letter recognition, alphabet recognition and sequencing, phonics, visual and auditory discrimination, consonant blends, word formation, early vocabulary, and rhyming.
