The DVDs in the "Let's Explore" series use a multi-level format to cover background knowledge, as well as appealing to a wide age group (pre-K through age 10).
Multi-level learning (or differentiation of instruction) is a critical factor in our children's education. Being able to move at their own pace allows your child to feel a sense of pride as they complete a level and move onto the next. Each level in the Let's Explore series expands on the teachings of the previous level, adding more facts, vocabulary and scientific knowledge.
Level One (ages PreK-5) helps establish necessary background information. Basic vocabulary is introduced as a means of word and image recognition. Basic concepts are taught regarding the topic.
Level Two (ages 6-8) expands on the information learned in Level One. The information that is being heard is reinforced with the image being seen, the vocabulary word on the screen and the facts being heard in the narrative.
Level Three (ages 9-10) introduces the child to more complex concepts. Scientific facts are discussed, and illustrations along with more complex vocabulary are introduced at this level.
