“Our mission is to provide high quality entertaining media that enhances and elevates learning and encourages the highest potential in every child,” says Kate Beale, vice president, Soaring Star Productions. “‘Pocket Snails Aquaphonic Adventure’ offers children the perfect introduction to learning the letter sounds in a fun and engaging way that has true entertainment and educational value.”
With camera in hand, the Pocket Snails make their way to Phonic Island by way of the sea (on and beneath it), photographing recognizable objects – an anchor, a motorboat, a lobster, to name a few – to take back to Jake so that he may learn the sounds each letter makes, making valuable use of repetition so no child is left behind in further learning their ABCs.
Original upbeat tunes will get children singing and clapping along to the catchy lyrics. “We Love the Vowels” focuses solely on the vowels and teaches how they each have two sounds and how at least one is present in every word. “Tell Me All About (Phonics)” recaps the exercise to seal the lesson, and as previous Pocket Snails DVDs, the “Pocket Snails Theme” delights all. These songs, along with “Pocket Snails Celebration” and tunes from the first Pocket Snails release, “Pocket Snails Letter Adventure,” can be found on the “Pocket Snails & Other Snaily Songs” CD, which was named a “Toy of the Year” by Creative Child Magazine and received a 5-Star Rating from the Dove Foundation.
