Phonics 4 Babies: Little Minds Grow Big
Want to give your baby a jump-start on his speech development? Phonics 4 Babies is an award-winning DVD series chock full of playful puppets, eye-catching animation and sing-a-long songs featuring Emmy-winner Mallory Lewis (daughter of Shari Lewis, of Lambchop fame). Kids watch Lewis and the Tummy Tots -- roly-poly, caterpillar puppets -- in their computer-generated fantasy world as they sing catchy songs and introduce children to words, the alphabet, vowel and consonant formation, letter and shape identification, counting games, and even basic manners. Phonics 4 Babies has been described as charming, delightful, friendly and lively, but it's also quite well developed. Partnering with a clinical psychologist and a speech pathologist, Lewis brings her unique gift of entertainment together with a valuable blend of research and education. In fact, it's the only DVD series of its kind to specifically engage babies and toddlers in early speech.
