The free play creativity activity translates particularly well as a vocabulary booster. Thus, as children create a picture, they ll be hearing the names of colors, letters, numbers, shapes, animals, and familiar objects. Simply creating a garden scene will help kids become familiar with such words as champignon, fleur, soleil, papillon, and more. Excellent opportunities to learn are here in a natural, unforced manner as language instruction is almost subliminal.
Music is a powerful language and vocabulary booster, and the ones included here are stellar.
The CD-ROM can be played in an audio CD player as well to enjoy long after the computer is turned off.
