For Martin Luther King Day / Readeez math & reading videos
Monday, January 16th 2012 @ 12:44 AM
The video below is a nice presentation of an excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, with large, clear, child-friendly captions to read along.
In our family, we've just discovered Readeez and their catchy songs for learning reading and math. You can watch most of their songs free on their website or on YouTube, but we also bought the "Folderful" of money math songs and videos, and I've found it convenient to just press 'play' once to roll the whole thing. (It's about seven minutes long.) Great songs! My seven-year-old is getting a better grasp on the value of coins, and my two-year-old gets up and dances, and is starting to sing along. (I dare you to get "Quarterrific" out of your head once you've heard it.)
All of their videos are captioned in real-time along with the audio, with each word appearing syllable by syllable as it is spoken or sung. (Note that in addition to their pareve stuff, they do make a few videos with King James Bible verses. Doesn't bother me—I just don't click on that section and we enjoy all the others.)
