Original Message For those of you that will not let a pre-k child watch tv, they don't need tv. They'll convince you that "Building reading readiness can never be to early."

What they should say:

Your first five years are still not free...what do you need an imagination for? Learn to read at a month old so that we can propagate you before you even have a chance to use an imagination. You're ours...right out of the womb!

Products Help Parents Instill Early Love of Reading -- A Child's First Step in Learning to Read and Reaching His or Her Full Potential

NEW YORK, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Educate Products, owner of Hooked on Phonics(R), a highly trusted brand and 20-year leader in teaching kids to read, introduced here today at BookExpo America 2007, Hooked on Phonics Discover Reading -- the company's first line of reading programs for babies and toddlers -- and Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read -- Pre-K, for children ages three to four years.

Building Reading Readiness -- It's Never Too Early

According to Hooked on Phonics reading expert, Wendy Paige Bronfin, vice president, Product Development & Education, it's never too early to begin reading to children. The Discover Reading programs are based on vast research that asserts babies and toddlers who are read and sung to from an early age are more likely to become better readers earlier. Hearing family members talking, laughing, singing and reading stories to them provides early experiences with spoken and written language. Creating these positive associations with reading at home fosters future reading success.

Each of the new programs represents one of three steps toward building reading readiness in children. Step one is achieved through Discover Reading -- Baby where vocabulary and memory development is stimulated and a love of reading begins. The second step, which builds listening, vocabulary and speaking skills, and introduces word-object associations, is encouraged in Discover Reading -- Toddler. Building off steps one and two, Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read -- Pre-K is the third step, teaching preschoolers letter names, letter sounds and phonemic awareness -- a basic fundamental in learning to read.

Discover Reading - Baby Edition

The new Hooked on Phonics Discover Reading program is built on two platforms: a Baby Edition for infants three to 18 months and a Toddler Edition for children 18 to 36 months.

Discover Reading -- Baby instills a love of reading through classic nursery rhymes and new stories. The program encourages early language and memory skill development and stimulates a baby's developing senses. Discover Reading -- Baby enhances the parent and baby bonding experience while reading beautifully illustrated board books, including six nursery rhyme books, one Hooked on Phonics character storybook, and one baby faces photographic book. Also included is a comprehensive easel-styled parent's resource book, an audio CD with sweet sing-along nursery rhymes and a 30-minute Hooked on Baby DVD that brings classic nursery rhymes to life through story narration, engaging music and loveable characters. Available in July 2007, the program will be on store shelves for as low as $37.

Discover Reading -- Toddler Edition

The second step toward reading readiness, Discover Reading -- Toddler continues to foster a love of reading. The product uses original board books and a vinyl bath book to encourage reading throughout the day with...
