ABC's

ABC's is an activity in JumpStart Toddlers (1996). It is designed to teach the alphabet at a toddler level.

Description
The player can select a letter by either clicking on one of the letters around the blackboard, or by typing a letter key on the keyboard. When a letter has been selected, an object whose name begins with that letter appears on the blackboard as a word and an image. Each letter of the alphabet can display three different words, except for X, which only displays two. (See the digital manual description below for a full set of words included in the activity.)

This activity has no difficulty levels.

Digital manual description
"A B C D E F G, learn your ABC's with me!"

Learn your ABC's with Giggles.


 * Click on any letter on the frame of the blackboard or press a letter key on the keyboard.
 * If a non-letter key is used, Giggles prompts your child to hit a LETTER key.
 * Your child will enjoy each lively animated sequence and become familiar with the sight of words as they appear in writing.
 * Most letters include three different words.

Educational and Developmental Benefits

This is a playful way to become familiar with the alphabet. Toddlers begin to associate letters with words. Repeating favorite letters develops your toddler's memory and vocabulary. Uppercase letters are used because they are the easiest to differentiate.
