I admit that we watch cBeebies most days. The toddler has his favourite programmes and if he’s a bit bored with his toys he’ll often ask for “Beebs” as he likes to call it.
We’re familiar with The Alphablocks who are 26 living letters who fall out of the sky and discover that if they hold hands and make a word, it magically comes to life. It has a very catchy theme tune!
Big Brother was sent a new DVD which aims to help your child enter the magical world of reading with the hit CBeebies show, Alphablocks. Based on best-practice phonics, your child will laugh and learn with the little letter people and their adventures, songs and all kinds of fun and games.
Volume 1: Phonics First Steps introduces the first letters and sounds that children are taught at school and starts them off making simple words. With repeat viewing, children can build key phonics skills and boost their reading confidence – while having lots and lots of fun.
Whilst the toddler is too young to be reading we do read books every day so this is a great introduction to reading and phonics. He enjoys the Alphablocks so I will make sure we watch this regularly so the information is absorbed! The DVD features 18 episodes and also comes with a free Alphablocks, Alphabet poster.
I’ve never seen this program before, it sounds great! My almost 3 year old is very interested in alphabet shows and books. I think he’s going to love this, I’ve ordered him a copy!
