Rock N Learn has great dvd's to keep our kids entertained and learning
18 October
A little background information:
These videos can be played on a computer that has a DVD drive. They cannot be played in a CD player. However, they can be played on a DVD player that is attached to your television. These DVDs encourage learners to participate along with the program through singing, reading, dancing, and playing along with the games.
On the Rock N Learn website, they include a correlation to Common Core State Standards for each DVD. Here is an example for the Sight Words Level One DVD:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.5c
Identify real-life connections between words and their use (e.g., note places at school that are colorful).
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.6
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.6
Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, reading and being read to, and responding to texts.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3c
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3c
Read common high-frequency words by sight (e.g., the, of, to, you, she, my, is, are, do, does).
Sight Words Level I explains what sight words are and why they are important to learn ("you know them when you see them"). The Pre-primer Dolch words are presented as well as the top twenty words form Fry's first one-hundred words. There are sixteen songs. Appropriate for preschool and early kindergarten or students that need extra practice.
The words and sentences are presented on the screen so students can see them as they read aloud or sing them, thus reinforcing their learning by involving multiple modalities. As well, when the character reads the sentences, one-to-one matching and visual discrimination are emphasized with the words being highlighted as they are read, or by the "dancing dot" (my words) that appears over each word.
In addition, students have opportunity to sing, dance, use hand movements, read aloud, and play games (e.g., by trying to read a word or sentence before the character does). Adults can easily pause the program to provide more information or explanation. The main menu presents all the songs in a clear and organized fashion, making it easy to select which segment you want to watch.
