V-tech Flip For Phonics Montageanleitung

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 development. By being a good role model, your child should

see you read books, magazines 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, innovative 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®

ACTIVITY 1 - LEARNING LETTERS

This activity allows your child to practice identifying the 26 letters of the

alphabet. As your child presses a letter button, he or she will hear the

friendly voice identify the letter.

Learning Benefits for Your Child - The Learning Letters activity is presented

to introduce 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 children to take risks

by pressing letters he or she may not be too familiar with.

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Turn the card to the index, Learning Letters.

2. Slide the activity selector to the first position as

shown. You will hear a short tune followed by “Press

a button” and a fun sound effect.

3. Press a letter button to hear the letter identified.

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

will hear “A” and a fun sound effect.

4. Press the repeat button to hear the instruction and

a fun sound.

5. When the help button is pressed, you will hear “Press a button” and a fun

sound.

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 using the letter buttons on the learning toy.

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

to find the matching letter using the letter buttons on the learning toy. After

your child presses the letter button 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 letter buttons on the learning toy with his or her finger.

He or she should say the name of the letter while tracing it. Have your child

say, “The name of the letter is __ .”

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 B?” He or she will then have the opportunity to look at the

letter buttons and find that letter.

ACTIVITY 2 - ALPHABET ORDER (continued)

Learning Benefits for Your Child - The Alphabet Order activity has been

designed to familiarize 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. Turn the card to the index, Alphabet Order.

2. Slide the activity selector to the second position

as shown. You will hear a short tune followed by a

random question. For example, “What letter comes

after B?”

a correct response. For example, when you press the

letter ‘Cc’ button, you will hear “C. Good job! C comes

after the letter B.”

4. When an incorrect letter button is pressed, you will hear a negative re-

sponse. For example, when you press the letter ‘Ss’ button, you will hear

a negative sound effect followed by “S comes after the letter R. Try again.”

5. When the repeat button is pressed, the learning toy will repeat the pre-

vious question.

6. When the help button is pressed, the learning toy will identify the answer.

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 example, 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 the 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. Every time your child presses a letter button, the

friendly voice will tell your child the sound(s) that the letter makes.

6. When the help button is pressed, the answer will be identified.

How Can You Help?

• After your child has found a beginning letter correctly, have him or her tell

you the meaning of the word, and then use the word in a sentence. This is a

great way to check for comprehension of the word.

• Have your child write some of the words from this activity on paper. Your

child may wish to use paint, crayons, or markers to show the words he or

she is able to spell.

• When you are reading stories with your child, cover up the beginning letter

of a particular word. Ask your child to tell you what the beginning letter

should be.

ACTIVITY 6 - VOWELS

This activity introduces vowels in words. Your child will have to differentiate

the vowel sound from the consonant sounds in the words. Your child will be

able to identify the vowels A, E, I, O, and U because they are in a different color

than the consonants. Your child will explore many words while trying to identify

the vowel sound.

Learning Benefits for Your Child - The Vowels activity has been designed

to show children that every word must have a vowel sound. It provides

plenty of exposure to the vowels A, E, I, O, and U. It teaches children to

differentiate between vowels and consonants.

ACTIVITY 6 - VOWELS (continued)

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Turn the card to the index, Vowels.

2. Slide the activity selector to the sixth position as

shown. You will hear a short tune followed by a ran-

How Can You Help?

• Using the letter buttons, point out the letters A, E, I, O, and U. Ask your child

if he or she notices what all of these letters have in common. Your child

should be able to determine that these letters are in a different color than

the rest of the letters. Tell your child that there is a special name for these

letters. The special name for this group of letters is vowels.

• While reading books, magazines, or signs to your child, draw attention to

the vowels in the words. Have your child tell you what the vowel is in a

certain word.

• Using old magazines, have your child look for vowels in print. Help him

or her cut out vowels. Next organize all of the A’s together, E’s together,

etc. and glue them onto cards which have been labeled for each of the

vowels. Keep the learning toy nearby so your child can refer to the

vowel buttons.

ACTIVITY 7 - CONSONANTS

This activity builds more confidence with consonant sounds. Your child will

match a letter sound to the appropriate letter within the context of a word.

Your child will have to rely on his or her knowledge of letters and their

sounds to identify the letter.

consonants before pressing these letters to check if he or she is correct.

• While playing with this learning toy, encourage your child to listen to the

entire question before making a guess. Remind your child to look at the

entire word before making his or her final decision.

• When you are reading books to your child, stop at certain words and ask

your child questions like the learning toy does. For instance, “In this word,

which letter says puh?”
