Dora ABCs Vol 2: Rhyming Words by Nickelodeon

Dora ABCs Vol 2: Rhyming Words Screenshots



Description

The second in the Nickelodeon Literacy Suite, Dora ABCs Vol 2: Rhyming Words focuses on your childs emerging literacy skills. By matching rhyming words and more with Dora and Boots in this educational application, your child will become aware of individual sounds (phonemes) in words and how they are sequenced and changed to make new words. The ability to hear, discriminate and manipulate phonemes is highly associated with reading readiness in early childhood and considered a critical skill for the development of reading skills.

In this game, Dora and Boots want to go over the Troll Bridge, but the Grumpy Old Troll challenges them with a riddle: To get past the bridge of the Grumpy Old Troll, find the tokens to pay my toll. The player must listen and match rhyming pairs to collect tokens, and then, use a slingshot to get those tokens in the Trolls moving basket. Only then will they be able to go over the Troll Bridge.

And the adventure continues! After finding the rhyming pairs, your child will progress to hearing initial word sounds, ending word sounds, and inside sounds. As your child selects a matching token, the word pairs are reinforced. Supportive directions and sound effects help guide your child in learning all about word sounds.

The educational activity of hearing matching word sounds and the challenge of getting tokens in a moving basket come together to keep kids entertained while building important early reading skills.

Customer Reviews

Fun and easy (4 stars)
Simple instructions, kids love interacting with Dora like they do on the show! Teaches simple rhyming words...but do agree with other reviews, 9 tokens is a lot for a little brain to handle!

Kid loves it!!! (5 stars)
My daughter loves Dora and she loves this app!!. It is fun, simple, and entertaining. I'll be checking out other nickelodeon apps for sure.

Great fun (4 stars)
My 4 year old is the perfect age for this game. My almost three year old can't because she is too young. Four year old loves it.
