Dear Parent,Dear Parent,

Dear Parent,

You know how important reading is to your child's future. If your child can read,

your child can do anything. That's because reading is the foundation upon which all

fundamental learning is built. A good beginning is absolutely essential.

That is why TechTech

TechTech

Tech® designed the Fundamentals of learning product line to help

your child develop language skills, the skills crucial to learning how to read. Our

age-appropriate activities will help your child feel successful every step of the

way. In fact, we provide three levels of reading progression to help your child move

from a Beginning Reader, to a Growing Reader, and finally to an Advancing Reader.

Our curriculum begins with letters, letter sounds, and letter formation all the way

through vowels, consonants, word recognition –even full sentences. With the

Fundamentals of Reading product line, children think they're playing, but they're

actually learning. Their confidence grows, their self-esteem grows and their appetite

for learning grows, too.

How Can You Help?How Can You Help?

How Can You Help?

You've already started by showing you're interested in your child's reading

development. By being a good role model, your child should see you read books,

magazines and newspapers. Of course, there are other sources including billboards,

grocery lists, recipes and street signs. What's most important is that reading is a

fun, interactive experience that should be shared with your child daily.

We encourage you to play the activities in the Fundamentals of learning product

line together. You'll see first hand what progress your child is making. Children love

positive reinforcement so praise your child's achievements. As your child embarks

on the road to learning, he or she will encounter challenges. This is a natural part of

the learning process. Please be patient and if your child needs help, be sure to

provide it. Have fun. Remember, learning to read isn't a race. It doesn't matter who

gets there first. It's simply “getting there” that really counts.

We wish you the best as you help your child get off to a great start in becoming a

lifelong learner. As your child grows, count on TechTech

TechTech

Tech® to be there with fun, innovative

learning toys to help your child do his or her best every step of the way.

We thank you for entrusting us with the responsibility of building your child's future.

When your child can read, your child can do anything.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at TechTech
