He presses the word. The book says it, letter by letter, then the whole word, then the sentence it lives in.
C, a, t. Cat. A cat. A white cat. This is a white cat. That ladder is the whole idea: your child does not memorise a shape, he hears what each letter does, then hears those pieces snap together. When he meets those same letters in a word he has never seen, he can work it out on his own.
Inside are 17 leveled reading stories, the 26 letters with the sound each one makes, 40 sight words and 40 CVC words, over 200 common words and phrases, and 27 children's songs with 4 TPR songs. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so there are no button cells to buy or unscrew, and there is a volume dial on the edge for the car.
Nothing lights up, nothing connects, nothing asks for a password. He presses a picture, it answers, and he presses it again.

It does both, in that order. Press the word and it gives you the letters first, then the whole word, then the word inside a sentence. C, a, t. Cat. A cat. A white cat. That is the part that lets a child read a word he has never seen before, instead of recognising one he has already been shown.
Three and up. At three he presses pictures and repeats single words. At four and five he works through the letters and the sight words. The 17 stories are graded, so the book keeps up for a few years rather than being finished in a fortnight.
No. It has a rechargeable battery inside and a USB cable comes with it, so there are no button cells to buy or unscrew. There is a volume dial on the edge of the book, which matters more than it sounds when it is being used in a car.
