This reading product has been so much fun to use with my three year old who is considered a “pre-reader” which basically means she is developing reading skills. For example, she is “reading” by moving her little pointer finger across the letters as the sparkup reads the book. It’s such an interesting product because it’s like new technology (sparkup recorder) meets old technology (paper books) where your little one can hear some of her favorite books read by mommy, daddy, or other special family members. We have a list of people we would like to record so that my daughter can hear family members voices when she misses them. The only characteristic that was a little challenging was figuring out how to record and use it but after we got passed that we have really enjoyed the magical book reader. One way we have decided to use it is by leaving it in my daughter’s “esquina de lectura” (reading corner) instead of her bedroom. In other words, we have tried to create different spots in the house where she can develop the joy of reading and in that corner she now has a cool, new little device where she can choose some of her favorite books that will automatically be read by whomever we record whether it’s abuelo, papi, or mami! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Here’s how it works:
The Sparkup Magical Book Reader clips onto nearly any of your child’s books and then “reads” aloud that book in the voice you recorded in any language! You can also download pre-recorded audio files of books which are read by professionals and feature sound effects. Sparkup can store up to 50 books. To find out more visit the Sparkup website.
