What the testers said: “The children had lots of fun exploring the clock in detail. They were very amused to discover each of its functions. The music had them all singing and dancing along, and the clock was useful when it came to gathering all of the children at the table. The clock is bright and easy to use both individually and in a group activity.”

Description: Inspired by the growing demand to introduce modern languages at an early age, babyboomboom’s Multi-Lingual Musical CDs are designed to introduce babies and young children to the sounds of other languages. Sixteen well-known songs and nursery rhymes are sung in English and then repeated in a second language.
Score: 80.4%
What the testers said: “The children enjoyed singing along to familiar nursery rhymes in a different language. They especially enjoyed ‘Heads, shoulders, knees and toes’! This made a nice change to most nursery rhyme CDs available, and is a perfect aid for bilingual children or even for adults! It could be used past pre-school age, and is a brilliant product up to the age of around seven years.”

Description: En Classe is a desktop resource designed to support practitioners teaching languages within their setting. It acts as a prompt on everyday topics including greetings, praise, weather, birthdays and much more. The resource is available in French, Spanish and German, and there is an audio CD available, to assist with pronunciation.
Score: 80.0%
What the testers said: “Great resource for children to learn basic French. We learnt a phrase per day to build up the children’s vocabulary. The flip chart was organised into different categories, making it clear and simple to use for quick reference. The CD was not as useful, as the conversation was too quick for the children to understand.”
