A magical reading adventure with Dora
-------------------------------------
Join Dora and Boots on a magical quest to save King Unicornio and
help crown him king of the Enchanted Forest. Designed
specifically for children aged 4 to 6 years old, the LeapReader
Early Reading book Nickelodeon Dora the Explorer: Tale of the
Unicorn King is an interactive storybook that works with
LeapReader and Tag reading systems (sold separately).
Curriculum that goes beyond core skills
---------------------------------------
As children explore Dora the Explorer: Tale of the Unicorn King,
they can touch the LeapReader to each page to hear the story read
aloud and touch words to hear them sounded out. Fun built-in
activities offer practice with phonics skills that include long
and short vowels, words, and word families – skills that
are foundational to a child's success with reading and spelling.
Word families, for example, can help young readers use analogy to
read or spell new words. If children can read or spell 'mat',
they begin to see how they can also read or spell 'bat', 'rat',
or 'flat'. Teaching children that words contain recognisable
chunks and to search for these word patterns is an important
first step in developing reading fluency and spelling. Dora the
Explorer: Tale of the Unicorn King also introduces children to
positive personality traits as they touch characters throughout
the book and hear audio responses designed to reinforce
self-confidence and leadership skills through an uplifting story.
Personalised for every child
----------------------------
Children can build skills and reading confidence with Dora the
Explorer: Tale of the Unicorn King. LeapReader is designed to
provide the audio support young readers need at the moment they
need it. Children can listen and read along to the full story
audio, skip ahead, or return to favourite pages and activities.
They can also read independently, touching words as needed to
hear them sounded out letter by letter. The magical adventure,
fun sound effects, and real character voices from the beloved
Nickelodeon TV show Dora the Explorer add extra motivation,
inspiring Dora fans to learn, explore, and read more.
Fun with their favourite characters
-----------------------------------
With Dora the Explorer: Tale of the Unicorn King, children can
use the LeapReader to bring this story to life. As they follow
Dora and Boots on an exciting quest to help a mystical but
bashful friend, Unicornio, they will hear real character voices
from the beloved Nickelodeon TV show. When the animals choose
Unicornio as their new king, the shy unicorn doesn't think he's
ready for the job; Dora and Boots must venture through the
enchanted forest to convince Unicornio that he's kind, smart,
brave, and strong – just like a king should be! The upbeat,
positive themes and real character voices provide a true Dora the
Explorer adventure for fans of all ages.
Learning experts create or approve every experience
---------------------------------------------------
As children begin to read on their own, they encounter a
combination of words they already know, words that can be sounded
out, and words that they will need to memorise or automatically
recognise (' words') because they do not follow common
spelling rules. The LeapFrog learning team designed Dora the
Explorer: Tale of the Unicorn King to help young readers develop
both their word vocabulary and their ability to decode new
words based on familiar spelling patterns.
As children begin to notice the spelling patterns in word
families ('get'/'let'/'bet', 'down'/'crown'/'brown', etc.), they
can more easily predict how to read or spell new words that they
encounter. The story combines a beloved children's character with
the curricular elements of high-frequency words and word
families, building reading fluency while engaging kids in a
magical adventure.
