AlphaBit’s Letters ‘n Lights™
AlphaBert’s Learn-to-Read System™
Dear Parent,
At VTech® , we know how important learning to read is to your child’s future. That’s why we created AlphaBert’s Learn-to-Read System™ - a progressive line of interactive learning products uniquely designed to teach your child how to read, while making the experience fun and rewarding.
This progressive system eliminates the guesswork when selecting learning toys for your child. Learning to read is a step-by-step process, and AlphaBert’s Learn-to- Read System™ provides the necessary building blocks in focused stages. Each stage has its own unique learning milestone, and builds on existing skills with an extensive curriculum that is personalized to your child’s age and ability.
Beginning Reader Stage: teaches letters, letter sounds and letter-object associations Growing Reader Stage: teaches blends, phonics to sound out words and simple spelling
Advancing Reader Stage: teaches independent reading, comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, creative writing
Most importantly, AlphaBert and his friends make learning to read fun, not frustrating. Your child will meet AlphaBert, Sprocket, AlphaBit, AlphaBetsy and AlphaBerto, the reading robots who love to learn and want your child to share their excitement and curiosity. AlphaBert & Friends are your child’s learn-to-read coaches who provide encouragement to fill your child with confidence and pride.
As with all VTech® learning products, AlphaBert’s Learn-to-Read System™ incorporates advanced technologies that are easy-to-use and reinforce learning. Our hands-on, multi-sensory toys engage diverse learning styles and promote productive play.
Reading has the power to enlighten, entertain and develop young minds. We thank you for trusting VTech® with the important job of helping your child learn to read!
Sincerely,
Your Friends at VTech®
