Vocabulary Is the Key to Success—Here’s How to Build It! Research shows vocabulary is the #1 predictor of success in school and life. The TA-DA! Children’s Talking Dictionary helps your child master 1,000 essential American English words while exploring cultural holidays, songs, and even treasured historical moments like Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech and Neil Armstrong’s moon landing (the real audio clips!)—all in one fun, easy-to-use book! No extra effort required on your part – no pens, no downloads – just open the box and play! 1,000 Words to Build Success: Linguists agree—1,000 words is the magic number to conversational fluency. This book delivers that—and more! EACH word is pronounced by up to 23 DIFFERENT native speakers, including a Harvard-Berkeley linguist who enunciates every word. With every touch, they’ll hear a different native speaker (kids, teachers, men, women, grandparents), creating a fresh, fun learning experience every time thanks to randomized tech innovation (patent pending). 10 Hours of HD Sound: Produced by 4-time Grammy Award winner Jesse Lewis (of Yo-Yo Ma), the audio quality is exceptional. With a built-in jack for headphones or an external speaker. Seek-and-Find Games: Advised by leading children’s app developer Joe Shochet of codeSpark, the 50 embedded games increase in difficulty and number of words. These games keep kids engaged at their chosen pace. Builds Confidence & Lasting Knowledge: Touch, sound, and sight work together to make language learning stick while boosting your child’s confidence because they're cracking the code of language. It’s like having a teacher by their side—but better, because they’re in control. Engaging illustrations, silly sounds, and fun games MAKE THEM WANT TO LEARN. Simple & Long-Lasting: Runs on and arrives with 3 replaceable AAA batteries. Fun & Smart Energy Saver: Features a hidden on/off switch and a built-in snooze mode featuring a real, silly snore!—a giggle-worthy reminder to turn your book off and conserve batteries.
