Specific skills covered are:

• Understanding basic features of print

• Recognizing own name
• Engaging in literary experiences, including stories and poems
• Understanding new word meanings
• Naming items in common categories

Of course, from a kid’s point of view, it’s all about the songs, games, stories, and fun. You’ll meet Lou and Ella, a rhino and a parrot who are best friends and polar opposites, in addition to the rest of the Reading Show Crew, as they sing, dance, scramble, and stomp through thirteen amazing musical reading adventures. Covering such preschool-friendly themes as Pirate Day, Music Day, Food Day and Castle Day, you’ll steer submarines to catch lost letters, sing along with the “Apple Ankle Alphabet Song,” play a Game with Your Name, and help out a poor bird who just can’t finish a word.

This new digital format is so musical, educational, and activity-filled, there’s simply never been another app like it. A perfect blend of learning disguised as entertainment, The Big Reading Show is ideal for preschoolers, (ages 2-3), Pre-Kindergarteners (ages 4-5), preschool and Pre-K teachers, tutors, homeschoolers, libraries, and of course families who want to share a love of reading with their kids, while introducing important pre-reading skills at the same time.
