Toy Story Showtime! on Sale in the App Store

It’s “Back to School” time!  While some kids are excited for school to start – others are not.  Words like “school,” “education,” and “learning,” can be a turn-off to kids.  However, Disney Publishing has taken a different approach to learning!  Their interactive apps engage children in guided learning and fun activities – they may not even realize they’re boosting their brain power!  Right now, all Disney Learning apps will be only $1.99 on the App Store (orig. $4.99) from August 29^th – September 12^th!

“Toy Story Showtime!” is a Disney Learning interactive storybook, recommended for children ages 4-6, and designed to help children explore essential early reading concepts. Kids are invited to join Buzz Lightyear as he sets out to impress Jessie the Cowgirl in the talent show. As Buzz tries his luck at everything from comedy to juggling, emerging readers discover new vocabulary words in the context of a rich, interactive storytelling experience. Bonus activities encourage children to use the vocabulary in both guided and exploratory play.

FEATURED HIGHLIGHTS

• Age-appropriate sight word vocabulary is explored through storytelling and interactivity.
• Advanced vocabulary is introduced through context, supported by art and animation, and reinforced through repetition. Tap story vocabulary words for age-appropriate definitions.
• Narration with word-by-word highlights supports the read-along experience.
• Special feature taps indicated by a yellow glow engage and surprise young readers. Find and tap the pea; tilt, trace, and shake to trigger Buzz’s moves; shake to toss roses on the stage, and much more!
• End of book activities provide extended practice with early-learning concepts.
