characters, Tad. Tad is the youngest boy in the LeapFrog family,
and he has a keen sense of adventure. With Tad's help, your
child will learn numbers, counting and colors—in English and in
Spanish. Squeeze Tad's left foot and he'll sing songs and speak in
Spanish; squeeze his foot again and Tad will return to English.
DID YOU KNOW?
Early exposure to more than one language
makes a difference!
Studies have shown that early exposure to the sounds of different
languages increases children's language facility later in life. As
our world grows smaller, it's increasingly important for children to
know the many languages of their friends and neighbors.
Babies are born with the ability to learn language.
Babies aren't just babbling—they are trying to replicate the
sounds they hear in order to produce language. By six months
of age, babies begin to figure out what certain sound strings
mean. For example, they associate "blue" with a blue stuffed
bunny. Through twenty-four months of age, children's word
comprehension and word production increase dramatically.
Hearing clear examples of speech automatically helps children
learn to comprehend language.
Number knowledge begins at an early age
and keeps building over the years!
By the time your child reaches preschool, he or she probably
understands that numbers stand for something. But number sense
starts even earlier than that. Show a 6-month-old two blocks and
then hide one. Chances are that he or she will notice, and begin
to understand that objects can be added or subtracted. At about
eighteen months, little ones may start reciting the number names
in order. They also begin to apply number names to objects in
order to count them.
