To Parents of Grolier children,
Once again, welcome of the world of Child-Learning.
I presume that you are a father or mother of a child or children wishing to get
hold of some boos or materials to start your child on a proper learning path
beginning with the !nglish Language, a language that the whole world simply
cannot do without or shall I call it a "corner-stone" on which to lay hands upon as
one stumbles in the process of li#ing and tra#elling in and or across this entire
world.
$s early as %riday, &'th (eptember &)*+, I chanced to lay my hands upon asample of one of the forty children story boos contained in their latest newly
launched Children !ducation Programme entitled T$LIG (TO/ 0OO( which
set is accompanied with a thumb-held digital T$LIG P!. $llow me to tell you
my brief e1perience on 2ust one of the boos and the Taling Pen.
3ith a eenness to disco#er e#erything new as lie a indergarten child recei#ing
his 4rst birthday present at school, I opened the Taling pen bo1. In an instant I
was ama5ed to 4nd out that the Taling Pen came in fully battery-charged,
without which I could well imagine how disappointed a child would be if his
mother says to him "wait son, we need to charge the pen battery 4rst". $nd if
this were the situation, the child would ha#e been distraught and lie any child
would ha#e been, he would ha#e lost his interest on the entire pac6 and that
would be a disaster to the child and lie wise his mother who too pains to
purchase it for him. 0ut "o 7", not this one. The Taling Pen was su8ciently
batter-charged to allow me to tae a try at one of the boos.
$s me if it was a thrilling e1perience 9.
/es, it was 777 The Taling Pen did read the words in the boo.
$s I placed the tip of the Taling Pen at the beginning of each sentence, it read
aloud the full sentence.
$s an e1ample, the sentence reading "I wash my face before I play" in the boo
entitled "3$T! !:!/3;!!", I could point to the coloured dots at the bottomof the page where I could learn ele#en <**= new words such as 0>00L!(, %$C!,

;$I, 3$(; CLOT;!(, 3$(;, ;$?, %$>C!T, (O$P, 3$T!, TOOT;0>(;,
TOOT;P$(T!, which words relate to the acti#ity of washing one@s face. $s I
pondered on the connecti#ity of these words to the sentence "I wash my face
before I play" and "/es Indeed 7" my heart said to myself that this is truly an
ama5ing boo which allows a child how to "thin out of the bo1" as to thin out
new words relating to an acti#ity of "3ashing my face before I play".
I too a further ad#enture into the pages of the boo and it counted twenty-4#e
<&A= pages containing **B words therein. Taing a simple $rithmetic into play, I
now multiply **B words with +) boos and I get a total of +,') words. I thought
to myself if this could be real 9. $re there really four thousand se#en hundred
and si1ty words 9. I answered to myself and said that it could not be. 3ell, I
looed and simmed again at the pages of the boo and I noticed some wordsrepeated throughout the pages of the boo and that led me to do some
discounting wor assuming that perhaps half of the words in the boo are
repeated throughout the boo that I held and the rest of the other DB boos
which gi#es me the number "&DE)". Oh, I thought to myself, what an odd
number and surely the author who designed and initiated the programme would
not ha#e settled his or her wor is such a number unless she is a "belie#er" in
the serenity of numbers. Then, I thought to myself that perhaps Grolier would
ha#e use this educational report as a guide which read " 0y the time a child
enters 4rst grade he should ha#e a minimum of &,D)) words in his #ocabulary"
and that would be the guide for any country to base its school !nglish Curriculumon. If that would be the case, then surely &,A)) would be a better number to
wor on, and, yes indeed this programme o8cially con4rmed to oFer a child the
opportunity to learn &,A)) words, which uantity would enable any non-nati#e-
!nglish child to be able to con#erse in the !nglish language eFecti#ely and
Huently whilst also being able to e1press himself or herself clearly so to mae her
point across to her listener as she intended in his or her mind.
3hat more could I 4nd out about the programme 9

!ach page is 4lled with colourful pictures and a#ails plenty of learning
opportunities.
$ child can learn and practise &,A)) words-pictures pairs in conte1t.
Coloured dots connect words with pictures to help build #ocabulary.
Placing the Taling Pen at the beginning of each sentence allows the pen to read-
aloud the sentence.
Positioning and placing the Taling Pen on the coloured dots allows the pen to
read-aloud the words so that the child can listen to the nati#e-pronunciation of
the words and repeat after the "teacher-in-the-taling-pen" and thus practise to
say and pronounce the words.
This programme, I disco#ered is an e1tension to GOLI! T$LIG !GLI(;

10. Now, check in you mind or at best keep a score of how many tiles your child has answered
correctly.
Over the time time you will ba able to sum up in your mind as to whether your child is
possessing a high,
average or a low level of intelligence.
How parents can benefit from the FUN THINKERS
set.
Fun Thinkers can be used a a way to measure the level of a child's intelligence which can be
categorised as High, Average and Low. Depending on the respective abilities of each child a
mother can roughly make an estimation in her mind as to the level of intelligence of her child as
she notices how ham=nay tiles are entered correctly. As a rough guide, a parent can categoriseher child's I.Q level with the following tiles count:
Note : The following guide is my personal opinionated guide and doses not represent the Grolier
company in
any way.
High - 13 to 16 tiles
Average - 9 to 12 tiles
Low - 4 to 8 tiles
In this manner the above would be a good guide so as to know what would be our next plan for
our child if we want him or her to grow up and become an A-level student in his future schooling
years. Parents ought to be conscious of their children's learning abilities given an environment
where at each school year end more straight A's students are being developed.
Studies have proved that the sooner a child is being read to by his/her parent the earlier he/she
will develop an interest in listening to the sweet sound of his/her parent's reading voice, which in
most cases is the mother's voice. Over the time a child will get accustomed to her reading voice
and will naturally learn to know at which time is his/her mother-child reading time.Therefore, the
sooner a child is being read to, the better.

FUN THINKERS series is usually introduced to a child as soon as he/she is able to sit and hold
things. Therefore, as a child is ready to "Listen" to his/her mother's learning instructions, he/she
would by then be ready to participate in the FUN THINKERS games.
