Ta-Da! Children's Talking Dictionary: Around the House - English

Revolutionary paper electronic innovation allows kids to simply touch the paper pages of this beautifully-illustrated picture dictionary, and they come to life with native speakers and stunning soundscapes.

This children's talking dictionary provides an arsenal of words to build confidence, reinforce school work, and help kids master their vocabulary, spelling, and pronunciation skills. Kids can test themselves with the embedded seek and find games--available in five different levels that feature more words and greater difficulty each time. This book is lightweight and features a built-in headphone jack for easy transport--and volume control--for school, home, and travel. Perfect for kids ages 6-14+.

Inside you'll find:

- 1,000 words: a complete vocabulary program in book form, and the minimum number of words studies have shown to be necessary for conversation in another language
- 10,000+ sounds: custom sound effects, cultural facts, and vocabulary
- Up to 23 randomized native speakers per word (and an average of 14 per word) sharing correct pronunciation of words--from the everyday and conversational to culturally-focused

This book has it all:

- Endorsement from a Harvard and UC-Berkeley-trained linguist
