Academia

– Amusing Alphabet Video

 

You’ve got educational ambitions for the up-and-coming academic in your arms. And he’s not even crawling yet. He’ll read Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Flaubert; all the greats. Before he starts school. You’re sure of it.

 

Send him on his way with Maisy’s animated ABC. Featuring both capital and lower case letters, each is introduced by name and phonetically, priming the little tot for his early year’s curriculum (or simply reinforcing what he already knows).

 

Academic ambitions aside, this DVD is geared for even the youngest TV-watching tot and is engaging and entertaining for all. Each letter is followed by a short story which will appeal to young babies even if the A to Z is off the map.

 

The stories have different and creative options in the choice of words we’re not talking ‘a is apple’ here. Or ‘x is for xylophone’ for that matter. And each letter features a noun, adjective and verb. (Remember? Those are doing words.) The bite-sized clips will have the eyeballs of even the smallest pupil, and their short nature means you can stop and start wherever you choose.

 

Giving you time to get on with a little reading of your own.
