"You giggle and grin while the knowledge sneaks in." It's an apt description of this delightful new concept in children's entertainment. Readeez combine the written word with the spoken word in a unique way that's both enjoyable and instructive. Each "Readee" is about a minute long, and many feature the animated duo of Julian and Isabel Waters, an upbeat inventor-dad and his sweet, articulate daughter. Other Readeez include a live-action character named Michael -- a friendly musician with the gentle charm of Mr. Rogers or Steve from Blue's Clues.More than cartoons, Readeez are "learning disguised as smiling." Each time a word (or song lyric) is heard on the soundtrack, the word is displayed onscreen in large, clear type and in syllable-perfect sync. With Readeez, words are the stars of the show. They're not subtitles, or sing-along lyrics, consigned to the bottom of the screen. The "immersive" Readeez approach doesnt offer a one-at-a time list of random words. Rather, in Readeez videos, words are placed in unforgettable context, delighting children with stories, songs, riddles, rhymes, and distinctive characters.Parents, children and reviewers LOVE Readeez. We think you will too!

In a six-year study, students who used this video scored two grade levels above their peers on reading tests. For example, first-grade students averaged reading scores above the third-grade level.

Your 2 1/2 to 6 year-old is in a critical period for learning language. By appealing to your child's intrinsic developmental sensitivies like love of repetition and affinity for song, Shining Light Reading Series provides a natural enjoyable way to build the two essential skills for reading success.
