Phonics. It’s something every child has to learn and it can definitely be BORING with a capital B. There are so many products out on the market these days to try and make learning how to read a little more fun. I am excited to tell you about one of those products that ToyXplosion was able to personally review by Rock N’ Learn.
Rock N’ Learn – Phonics Volume I
Just one look at the cover and you know this will be a fun learning program for your kids. We have a 6 year old, so he is at that still learning how to read stage. And, given that’s it’s summer – he needed something to wake up that brain a little. Rock N’ Learn phonics did just that.
Why parents will love it: It’s catchy and it keeps your kids’ attention. The characters are cool looking and most of the time, your child won’t even know they are learning. They’ll just sit and enjoy the show. You can sit down with your child and watch and interact with them. Kids always love it when parents take part in activities with them. We watched the whole DVD with our 6 year old (I even made our two older kids watch it. They wouldn’t admit it, but they had fun too.) and had a lot of fun. I could tell he was learning.
Why kids will love it: It’s rock and it’s learning. Kids love the rock part! It’s cool, contemporary and not outdated. The cool songs and humorous characters take some of the pressure off the kids when it comes to learning how to read. The kids get to control the pace and decide when they are ready to advance to the next skill.
There’s also a Phonics Volume 2

It’s a program well worth checking out. And actually, Rock N’ Learn is giving one ToyXplosion reader the chance to check out Phonics Volume I
