I was looking for some good phonics books for my 4-year old boy when I came across LearningTech Program. It is a complete educational program for children to achieve success and happiness.
LearningTech Program is all about enabling parents to be facilitators of the child’s learning process. It provides parents with the tools to make learning fun. I think this is a very important part that parents like me should note. When we try to enforce learning as “mandatory, must-do thing”, kids might lose interest but when learning is seen to be enjoyable and less of a chore, the desire to learn would be greatly enhanced.
LearningTech has designed three different educational programs to develop the child’s potential right from the early formative years. These programs are meant to be used at home.
– Complete Educational ( A+) Program (CEP)
– Holistic Bilingual Program (HBP)
– Magic Phonics Program (MPP)
I was invited by Jay of Learning Tech Program to try-out and review some of their materials and since I was looking for phonics education for my boy, I chose to review some contents of its Magic Phonics Program. This program provides fun way to teach phonics and grammar to kids in order to make them fluent readers before they start formal schooling.
LearningTech’s Bilingual program:
I also got one bilingual material from Holistic Bilingual Program to review. Since, my boy will soon start learning mandarin in his pre-school, I wanted to check his reaction and receptiveness towards the new language other than English.
These books come with a smart pen and I found the smart pen to be really smart! It brings books to life. My boy boy and his elder sister both loved the smart pen concept. It is interactive and very easy to use. Very young kids also can comfortably use it.
Clicked some pics when the kids were getting familiar with the Bilingual book. The smart pen comes in vibrant, cheerful colors and has a shape that is easy to hold.
The boy first thought that the pen is like a normal writing tool but when it started “talking”, it was so much fun!
I personally tried the bilingual book and found it quite interesting. It is like reading comics. The graphics is catchy, the dialogs are cute. You can either read the book just like that or use smart pen for the voiceover. The voiceover is funny and kids would love it. The book has loads of animal sounds, songs and all such things that are always sure-fire hit with kids. In fact, learning Mandarin becomes quite easy this way. Listen to English words and then listen the same in Mandarin. Good!!
As a parent, just ensure that the smart pen is not used in over-smart way by kiddos. Initially, they tend to try out various tricks of using the smart pen. After initial excitement is over, show them the right way to use it for the maximum benefit.
Watch this short video that summarizes kid’s reaction when introduced to the book and the pen.
Now coming to LearningTech’s Magic Phonics program:
Magic Phonics program is a wonderfully illustrated interactive pictorial phonics and grammar program for children.
Children learn to associate printed letters with the speech sound each word represents. Mastering phonics will enable children to read quickly in confidence. Once a child knows how to read , he/she can become an independent reader. This phonics program comes with a reading pen to hear the sound of the phonics pronunciation.
I found the Magic Phonics books quite impressive. Kids get instantly attached to the books and its characters, situations and thereby start showing interest in the words, sounds and grammar of the contents.
For my boy, I had to sit down with him and help him to read the words since he is still in very early stages of reading. But he seemed to be interested and was focusing well on the materials.
Magic Phonics is a complete program for all stages of readers.

I appreciate you sharing this forum. Fantastic. Hopgood
Its good for young kids..
nice one i also want to learn another language using this kind of materials coz it just looks so fun
The learning materials look cute and yet educational. Thanks for sharing this… I am glad to see your son enjoy as he picks up some Chinese.
Children nowadays are very high tech! All can be google and search using different apps, etc…a brilliant idea to nurture and help our little ones.
It seem fun for kids to learn bilingual language. Their learning process for faster than adult. This is a good book.
good to start the kids from young.. glad to see help such as this.
This is similar to Grolier right? Am still considering whether this is necessary but from your video I think it is a “Yes” for me in the near future seeing as me and my hubby are pure banana’s and we would prefer our kids to learn Chinese. And my hubby’s English grammar already rusted… So if he would be the one to guide LO then he would definitely benefit from this hehe
This is a remarkable feat for today’s education. Technology has indeed taken its roots in all diverse forms of humanity and learning will be more fun cos of tech’s integration.
I’ve never considered to even try to leaen Mandarin. It looks so complicated!!! My mom known Korean though… Btw, true, teaching multiple languages in childhood when grasping power is more, is good..
I love learning programs such as this. My daughter who is 4 would really enjoy this. She is a visual learner and picks things up really quickly. This would be perfect!
His smile looks precious. The book looks colorful and attractive. Kids will surely love to learn with this kind of educational resource.
It might be confusing for kids to learn several languages at once. It’s nice that there are learning tools to help them on cases like this.
Looks interesting to keep the kids interested in the book. However, we do have to remember that we also need to make the children love reading the book itself, not the electronic activities in this one.
Kids’ attention span is really short nowadays, so having a program that can capture their attention is really helpful for learning! Do let us know what your kids think after using this for half a year!
indeed an important program. Its so nice to know that there are fun ways to get the kids to start learning.
This is a great and fun way of learning for the kids.
This is such a great and fun learning tools for the kids.
Omg~ I want the pen too! Looks so attractive! =D
Kids have so privileged to have so many educational tools to choose from nowadays
I saw something similar 6 years back too and was tempted to buy for Aayan, now it is so popular again. It seems quite good.
Your son is so cute. I can’t wait to have a kid and buy this for him.
I had something similar when I was a kid! I want one for my sons! This will be great for our homeschooling!
I think I have been shown demos about this program in KL last year but my toddler was too young at that time. I guess I will find out more about LearningTech when he’s older.
That’s an amazing way to improve your child’s knowledge. I hope we had something similar to that when the girls were younger. It definitely makes learning more enjoyable for kids.
Learning look interesting and enjoyable with this kind of technology. I wont mind spending money for my kids so they will enjoy learning new things.
I love the pen! Nowadays I guess even technology is been use for kids learning. But is a good way that it helps and let the kids have fun learning too!
I think it’s awesome to learn many language and kids who learned different languages since early age are awesome. Hahaha! The book looks easy for them too 😉
