They've already spent countless hours listening to stories, children's podcasts, songs and using the phonics cards. \r\n\r\n For our preschool graduation this year, I'm able to ask the parents or grandparents to send an audio clip saying congratulations to their kiddos and will be playing it on the last day. \r\n \r\n I'm also already planning to use it at the start of next year, in a similar manner, having parents or grandparents read or tell a story or send a message to their preschoolers, and each child will have their own personal card with these audio files on them. This way, if they're feeling down or missing their family, they can always listen to their card! I think this will be a game changer for our 3-year-olds, and any other first time preschool learners.
