Appropriate for ages 1 and up Product description
Baby Webster™ is a unique set of 29 flash cards that can be used in a traditional manner or in concert with the Baby Einstein™, Baby Bach™ and Baby Mozart® videos. The flash cards use objects that appear in these award-winning videos, offering you interesting opportunities to enhance vocabulary acquisition, concept development and word recognition. Teaching tips are provided on the back of each card, including translations of each word into the six foreign languages that are featured on the Baby Einstein video. The Baby Webster flash cards can be used alone or in concert with our first three videos - Baby Einstein™, Baby Mozart® and Baby Bach™. Several characteristics make these flash cards unique: they employ photo-graphic images of familiar, real-world objects; the images are reinforced in video; and each word is translated into the seven languages featured on the Baby Einstein video. The cards also include Teaching Tips that encourage interactivity between you and your baby. And they're larger and more durable than traditional flash cards, making them perfect for curious little hands. Using Baby Webster with your baby
Great teachers create engaging and varied learning environments in which children both acquire and apply knowledge. In Baby Webster, we've designed a multi-faceted resource that supports several teaching strategies. Use the cards before watching the video with your baby
When the same or similar images appear in the video, point and name the objects. This approach creates prior knowledge that is reinforced and extended when the object appears in the video. Use the cards after watching the video with your baby as a review or reinforcement activity. The Teaching Tips provide ideas for expanding development of words and concepts. Let your baby play with the cards. You'll probably find he or she enjoys holding them. Encourage your baby to pick cards and identify the image by asking, "What do you see?" or "Can you find the banana?". Older babies can group the cards into stacks of toys, animals and foods. Remember to encourage your baby's natural curiosity rather than forcing a particular development rate. The best strategy always is love, play and teach. Flash card design
On the picture side the word appears in simple, bold text. From a very young age, children begin to understand that particular combinations of letters make up particular words, and that those words have meaning. This is the first step toward sight recognition of printed words. On the back side, we offer Teaching Tips. These are examples of things you can say, ask or do as you use the flash cards. Depending on your baby's age and level of development, you can choose to use all of the tips or only a few. And by all means, invent your own. Whenever you have the opportunity, make the objects on the cards a part of your baby's life experiences. Point out stars in the night sky and relate them back to the star card or smell a flower with your baby as you hold the flower card in your hand. In this way, the flash cards not only reinforce vocabulary, but can be used to teach colors, parts, concepts, sounds and relationships in nature. We've also included the word translated into the six foreign languages heard on the Baby Einstein video. The translations and transliterations were provided by Berlitz.
