From a very young age of approximately eighteen months old, children love to watch television and learn how to count, recite the alphabet and sing simple, fun songs that incorporate listening, learning and copying. Parents and Grandparents can sit together and join in with their children as they have fun and learn at the same time. Simple arithmetic is learnt by repetition of counting and the alphabet by sounding out letters and the use of Phonics and shape recognition can be mastered quickly and easily.
