Parent’s Guide to using the

Alphabert The Ready

Read Robot™

learning toy

Dear Parent,

You know how important reading is to your child’s future. If your child can read,

your child can do anything. That’s because reading is the foundation upon which

all fundamental learning is built. A good beginning is absolutely essential.

That is why VTech designed the Fundamentals of Reading product line to help your

child develop language skills, the skills crucial to learning how to read. Our age-

appropriate activities will help your child feel successful every step of the way. In

fact, we provide three levels of reading progression to help your child move from

a beginning reader, to a growing reader, and finally to an advancing reader. Our

curriculum begins with letters, letter sounds, and letter formation all the way

through vowels, consonants, word recognition - even full sentences. With the

Fundamentals of Reading product line, children think they’re playing, but they’re

actually learning. So their confidence grows, their self-esteem grows and their

appetite for learning grows, too.

How Can You Help?

You’ve already started by showing you’re interested in your child’s reading devel-

opment. By being a good role model, your child should see you read books, maga-

zines and newspapers. Of course, there are other sources including billboards,

grocery lists, recipes and street signs. What’s most important is that reading is a

fun, interactive experience that should be shared with your child daily.

We encourage you to play the activities in the Fundamentals of Reading product

line together. You’ll see first hand what progress your child is making. Children

love positive reinforcement so praise your child’s achievements. As your child

embarks on the road to learning, he or she will encounter challenges. This is a

natural part of the learning process. Please be patient and if your child needs

help, be sure to provide it. Have fun. Remember, learning to read isn’t a race. It

doesn’t matter who gets there first, it’s simply “getting there” that really counts.

We wish you the best as you help your child get off to a great start in becoming a

lifelong learner. As your child grows, count on VTech® to be there with fun, innova-

tive learning toys to help your child do his or her best every step of the way.

We thank you for entrusting us with the responsibility of building your child’s

future. When your child can read, your child can do anything.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech®

ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY 1 - LEARN LETTERS

This activity introduces letter identification. Your child will also learn a word that

begins with each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. For the letters A, E, I, O, and U,

two words will be taught to represent both the long and short vowel sounds of

those letters. The friendly robot will say, “This is the letter__.” Then the friendly

robot will tell your child the name of an object that begins with that particular

letter.

Learning Benefits for Your ChildLearning Benefits for Your Child

Learning Benefits for Your Child-The Learn Letters activity is presented to intro-

duce your child to the 26 letters of the alphabet. Your child may explore at his or

her own pace by choosing which letters to press. There are no specific instructions

telling your child which button to press. This free exploration is very inviting and

encourages your child to take risks by pressing letters he or she may not be too

familiar with.

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Press the Learn Letters activity button. You will hear

a sound effect followed by “Let’s learn the letters.

Press a button.”

2. Press a letter button to hear the letter identified

followed by an object that begins with that letter.

For example, press the letter “p” button and you

will hear “This is the letter P. P is for plant” and the

corresponding object animation will appear on the

LCD screen.

How Can You Help?

• Encourage your child to find the beginning letter of his or her name as well as

other names of family members. Ask your child to think of his or her friends’

names or favorite toys, animals, etc. and guide your child in finding the begin-

ning letters of those words on the letter buttons.

• Write some letters of the alphabet down on paper and encourage your child

to find the matching letter on the learning toy. After your child presses the

letter and hears the name of the letter, ask him or her what letter it was.

• Allow your child plenty of free time to explore this activity. Have your child

touch and trace the letters of the alphabet on the learning toy. He or she

should say the name of the letter while tracing it. Have your child say, “The

name of the letter is___.”

ALPHABET

ORDER

ALPHABERT THE READY TO READ ROBOT™

ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY 2 - ALPHABET ORDER

This activity strengthens alphabetical order skills. Your child will recognize that

the letters of the alphabet are arranged in a certain order. He or she will have

opportunities to tell which letter comes before or after certain letters. Your child

will be asked specific questions such as, “What letter comes before the letter B?”

He or she will then have the opportunity to look at the letter buttons and find that

letter.

Learning Benefits for Your ChildLearning Benefits for Your Child

Learning Benefits for Your Child- The Alphabet Order activity is designed to famil-

iarize your child with the alphabet. Your child will also be taught the concept of

before and after. This activity provides opportunities for your child to identify

letters of the alphabet on his or her own.

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Press the Alphabet Order activity button. You

will hear a sound effect followed by “Let’s learn

before and after.” Then the learning toy will ask

a random question, for example, “What letter

comes before the letter d?”

2. When a correct letter button is pressed, you

will hear a positive response. For example, when

you press the letter ‘c’ button, you will hear

“The letter c comes before the letter d. Great

job!”

3. When an incorrect letter button is pressed, you will hear an encouraging

response. For example, when you press the ‘n’ button, you will hear “Uh-oh. Let’s

try again!” and the question will be repeated.

4. When the Help button is pressed once, the question will be repeated. If the Help

button is pressed a second time, the answer will be identified.

ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY 2 - ALPHABET ORDER (continued)

How Can You Help?

• While your child is playing this activity, encourage him or her to look at the

letters while making his or her decision about the answer. Have your child tell

you why he or she is choosing a certain letter for his or her answer.

• Your child should understand what the terms “before” and “after” really mean.

To help your child grasp this concept, practice this skill with your child. You

may wish to use objects that your child is familiar with (i.e. colored blocks,

small toys). Lay three or four objects in a line and talk about before and after

in regards to those particular objects.

• Talk about “before” and “after” in regards to events that have occurred

throughout the day. For instance, ask your child, “What did you do before

lunch?” or “What do we usually do after dinner?”

ACTIVITY 3 - SOUNDS OF LETTERS

This activity teaches sounds of the consonants and vowels. Your child will hear the

correct pronunciation of each letter sound. He or she will recognize that the

vowels A, E, I, O, and U can make two different sounds, both long and short, and

consonants C, G, and Y can also make more than one sound. Every time your child

presses a letter button, the friendly robot will tell your child the sound(s) that the

letter makes.

Learning Benefits for Your ChildLearning Benefits for Your Child

Learning Benefits for Your Child-The Sounds of Letters activity introduces your

child to the sounds of the letters of the alphabet. Your child will hear the correct

pronunciation of each letter. He or she will learn that some letters even make two

sounds. There are no specific instructions telling your child which button to press.

This free exploration is very inviting and should encourage your child to take risks

by pressing buttons that may be unfamiliar to him or her.

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Press the Sounds of Letters activity button. You will

hear a sound effect followed by “Let’s learn the sounds

of the letters. Press a button.”

ter. For example, when you press the letter ‘k’ button,

you will hear “K says kuh, Kuh is for king.”

ACTIVITY 3 - SOUNDS OF LETTERS (continued)

How Can You Help?

• Encourage your child to say the letter sounds along with the learning toy.

Your child could practice by saying, “The name of the letter is B. The sound of

the letter is buh.”

• This skill takes lots and lots of practice. Remember to remain positive and

praise your child when he or she can tell you the sound of a given letter.

• In everyday situations, have your child tell you what letter a certain object

begins with. Repeat the word slowly for your child by really stressing the

beginning letter. Have your child tell you what sound that letter makes.

This activity introduces your child to sounding out words. Your child will be able to

hear every letter sound within a given word when completing this activity. When

your child presses a letter button, he or she will hear the friendly robot slowly

sound out the word for that given letter. Your child will be able to look at the

letters of the word as it is being sounded out.

Learning Benefits for Your ChildLearning Benefits for Your Child

button as many times as he or she desires. This activity is another free exploration

activity to acquaint your child with the sounding out process.

ALPHABERT THE READY TO READ ROBOT™

ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY 4 - SOUNDS OF WORDS (continued)

3. An object animation will appear on the LCD screen that corresponds with the

object button that was pressed.

How Can You Help?

• Encourage your child to sound out the words with the friendly robot. Remind

your child to look at the letters within the word while he or she is sounding out

the word.

• Using the object words from the learning toy, write each of the words on cards.

Have your child try sounding them out on his or her own. If your child does it

correctly, have him or her illustrate the word on the back of the card. See how

many your child can recognize.

• Using the cards mentioned above, lay two words out in front of your child and

say the name of the word slowly for your child. Allow him or her to decide

which word you have said. Check the back of the card for the correct

illustration.

ACTIVITY 5 - MISSING LETTERS

This activity strengthens spelling skills. Your child must decide which letter is

missing in order to complete the word. He or she must rely on the knowledge of

letter sounds in order to complete this activity. Using the objects from the learning

toy, your child will be asked to tell which letter is missing in order to complete the

word. Your child may refer to the letter buttons for help.

Learning Benefits for Your ChildLearning Benefits for Your Child

Learning Benefits for Your Child- The Missing Letters activity provides opportunities

for your child to spell words correctly. The main objective is for your child to

recognize that there is a letter missing from the word. It also teaches your child

how to correctly spell some short words.

will hear a sound effect followed by “Can you

find the missing letter? Let’s try!” You will then

ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY 5 - MISSING LETTERS (continued)

2. When the correct letter button is pressed, the

answer will be heard, followed by a positive phrase.

For example, for the question “b l o _ k”, if you press

the letter “c” button, you will hear “C is the missing

letter in the word block. Great job!” You will then

see a rewarding animation on the LCD screen.

3. When an incorrect letter button is pressed, you will

hear “Uh-oh. Let’s try again” and the question will

be repeated.

4. When the Help button is pressed, the question will be repeated. If the Help

button is pressed a second time, the answer will be identified.

How Can You Help?

• When your child is playing this activity, point out that the words being used

are words from the objects pictured on the letter buttons. Remind your child

to refer to those when necessary.

• Practice this activity without using the letter buttons by having your child

guess what letter is missing from a word that you have written down. Use

words from the objects on the learning toy. It may be helpful to provide choices

of letters for your child.

• When reading a book to your child, choose a word that your child is familiar

with and cover up one of the letters in that word. Ask your child to tell you

what letter is missing. Continue in the same manner with more words.

ACTIVITY 6 - MISSING VOWELS

This activity strengthens spelling skills by having your child decide which vowel is

missing in order to complete a word. Your child will be shown a word with one

blank space somewhere within the word. Your child must enter a letter, which is

the missing vowel for the word.
