MP3 Player Teaches Kids through Music

Califone International, Inc., has partnered with Twin Sisters Productions, LLC, provider of children's educational music, to offer educators, reading specialists, speech pathologists, and students access to award-winning children's songs by preloading them on the Califone MP3 Player. A built-in microphone allows students to record their responses to the material as well.

Four albums will be included on the Califone MP3 Player:

Phonics: Includes songs that teach initial consonant sounds. Students hear letter sounds in a catchy rhythm, and then repeat words that have that initial consonant sound. Appropriate for ages 4-7.

Speechercise: Through a musical workout, students warm up with silly yet important basic mouth movements. Songs and drills focus on basic vowel and consonant sounds, complex vowel-consonant transitions, and advanced word level strings. Developed in conjunction with a nationally certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), this album for ages 3-6 and older helps children who may mispronounce a sound in certain words, yet pronounce it clearly in other words.

30 Nursery Rhyme Songs: Students can learn to sing 30 of their favorite nursery rhymes. Best for toddlers, preschoolers and young children.

Oceans: Students will learn about whales, sea turtles and ocean life. An example track is "When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Marine Biologist." Best for ages 4-9.
