dEcode® for Kids
As parents, and grandparents, we want the best for our child's educational future. The latest research indicates the importance of sound to letter connections as the beginning of learning to read.
Children can learn this sound to the letters of the alphabet as early as age 3.
dEcode® is pleased to announce our latest product, "dEcode® for Kids," a simple yet effective way to help your youngster learn his or her sounds.
dEcode® for Kids is made up of a CD, ("Hear the Sounds") and two books ("See the Sounds"). One book for the vowel sounds, the other for consonants.
This version has been developed because of the increasing expectations placed upon younger children to learn to read earlier and earlier.
This package is not a game format. Exercises are fun, brief and effective. The workbooks reinforce letter sound and fine motor skills.
How to use dEcode® For Kids:
“Hear Your Sounds” CD
Begin by letting your child explore. You or your child can click on any picture or letter and you will hear sound - the sound of a child's voice - even on the title page.
Encourage your child to repeat the sound or the word. You may find that your child wants to keep clicking on a particular letter or picture. Let them. This is how the sound to letter connection will take place.
Let your child guide you to the sounds he or she wants to hear. You may want to establish your own routine with your child on a regular basis with rewards put in place.
Remember, this should be fun as well as educational. Since this is for the child who is only 3 or 4, you may find that one to two minutes, three minutes, may be all they can handle initially.
Let your child use the mouse and click to his or her heart's content.
If they keep clicking on a letter, good. That is how they will learn to associate the sound with the letter symbol.
Let your child guide you as to how long they will stay at the computer. Don't force him or her to stay longer than they want to.
“See Your Sounds” booklets:
"See Your Sounds" will supplement whatever sound(s) you are working on.
You may copy a page so your child can do it over and over again.
You may want to trace a letter or a picture. You may want to enlarge a picture. Go ahead! Make it fun. In particular, the printing pages are intentionally designed for the young hand. As a result, there are only a few lines per page.
