You cannot depend upon your TV to be a babysitter and the main teaching source, but kids can learn from watching TV. My twins knew their colors before they were 2 because they LOVED the power rangers. Playing games like Yugioh enhanced their basic math skills.
I am not looking for something to take the place of her mother educating her, just the best aid to assist in the process. Her mother is not a great reader. I have no doubt that my love of books and early reading came from the fact that my mother was not only a gifted reader, but she was able to create different voices for each character. Her tone and pitch while reading was extremely entertaining. This is a gift not everyone has. I remember watching Hansel and Gretel for the first time and being very offended because "the witch did not sound like that!"
I've been googling and see quite a few complaints with YBCR customer service. I do not feel comfortable doing business with a company that has literally pages and pages with very similiar complaints.
So it'll be HOP unless someone else has another suggestion.
