Research shows that babies, toddlers, and young children who are read to every day have a wider vocabulary, a superior grasp of language, and a wider knowledge base (all factors that have a direct impact on reading and comprehension) than those who are read to infrequently. Ted’s Tales are vocabulary rich as well as providing features that develop reading skills.
We make it easy for you to show your child the individual words as you read. We leave larger spaces than normal between words. We even include pages with only one or two words per line.
