In a major initiative, Fisher-Price has partnered with Scholastic, a leading children's book publisher, to develop unique, interactive content based on children's classic books for Read With Me DVD! This ground-breaking learning system is the first to focus on story comprehension and vocabulary. Now children can enjoy reading the classics in a more engaging, multi-media way, developing a lifelong love of reading. Children simply insert the interactive DVD book title into a standard stand-alone DVD player, and a classic story is brought to life on the TV screen. In the primary play mode - Read & Play, words from these classic titles highlight on the screen and original illustrations animate as the story is read aloud to the child. At significant moments in the story, children are encouraged to stay and play on the page where they can learn the meaning of new words and respond to entertaining questions about the characters and key elements of the story. Each story also includes three additional play modes that allow kids to read the story themselves from the book pages represented on the TV screen, watch and listen to the story without questions, and play additional games based on the story's content. In total, each DVD contains more than 100 interactive questions and activities. At $34.99, the Read With Me DVD! learning system includes a wireless child-friendly remote control, an interactive DVD of Where the Wild Things Are and a storage case for the DVD. READ WITH ME DVD! titles are sold separately for $14.99 each.
