Review Highlights:
This is a good product aimed at increasing children's ability to acquire a first or second language. It effectively teaches associations between objects/colors/numbers and words. The use of repetition at the end of each "chunk" of words is a nice way of scaffolding children through the learning process. This is especially illustrated through the way that elements from earlier units are integrated into later ones, and children are asked to learn language in increasingly complex ways.
This product is user friendly. It keeps children's attention because each unit is relatively short, the colors used are aesthetically pleasing and engaging (without being too busy or distracting), and there is sufficient variation in terms of the objects and exercises utilized. Overall, this is a good teaching tool that could potentially even be used in formal (or informal) preschool settings.
