My First 1000 Words: A Picture Wordbook

by Thea Feldman, Parke Godwin (Contributor)

Disney characters invite children to discover the world of words in a new and magical way with My First 1000 Words. Thematic environments such as Beauty and the Beast's "Be Our Guest" and The Lion King's "Jungle Animals" bring a real-life context to language learning. Accompanied by lively and colorful illustrations, each featured word also provides children with a visual and contextual clue about important word meanings. Additional Search-and-Find activities included in each section further serve to engage children in language learning. My First 1000 Words has been created as an essential beginning reference tool for preschoolers to help develop language skills, such as letter and word recognition, reasoning ability, sequencing, and categorizing.

A great book to help children learn to read. It has a picture and the word below saying what it is.

[Libby · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is not a book I'd necessarily recommend to anyone, certainly not for read-alouds. It's basically a collection of scenes from Disney movies (or imagined scenes from beyond the movies...like Lady and the Tramp at the vet), with word labels all around each scene. But my kids just loved to pore through it individually or with each other...and most of the time they were content to do so without me. That counts as fostering a love of reading in my book.
