Many Children Struggle With Reading On Entering School
Online, June 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Los Angeles, California: In response to the outpouring of concern from many parents that their grade-school-aged children can't read, author Sabrina L. Wright and author/graphic artist Dexter Griffin have developed a digital ABC book as the initial component of an English learning series. Young children can tune into the book on any PC, laptop, cell phone or iPad to begin learning their ABCs through animation, narration, music and sound effects that accompany each letter illustration. The unique reading program is ideal for children just learning their alphabet. With digital reading now in full swing, Wright and Griffin introduce "Lola and the Spunky Bunch" in this new story-telling format.
Parents and educators are increasingly embracing "Lola's Digital Alphabet Book because of how it keeps children excited about learning. Digital preschoolers' books prime today's youth for the classroom reading and related activities they'll be doing on a computer, Smartboard or iPad as early as kindergarten or first grade. Since many preschoolers, and even toddlers, are already familiar with technology such as laptops, iPads and e-readers, digital children's books are a natural fit in their early education.
Parents are also attracted to digital books because of ease of use and low price. Even with added animation, narration, sound effects and music, digital books are still priced well below what one would pay in a retail store for the picture book alone. For instance, the annual membership fee of $4.95 for "Lola's Digital Alphabet Book" entitles the user to unlimited access to the digital alphabet book and future books in the series, along with parent and teacher information, interactive games, digital coloring pages and puzzles. New digital book apps and games will be added on a regular basis.
Authors Wright and Griffin are available to host "Lola's Alphabet Parties" at area Head Start programs, schools, churches, libraries and other organizations for kids, to offer a fun, exciting and unique learning opportunity. Children will enjoy a reading from the digital book, games, sing-along time, arts-and-crafts and prizes for an hour packed with wholesome fun and learning.
