Badanamu Educational Game Hands-on/ Computer Interactive Learning Disc Set Storytime Adventure for Alphabet and Spelling

The Amazon page (Third Picture) and the Badanamu website indicate you can pair the Magic Reader via Bluetooth. You can not! It is USB only and needs to be connected to a computer, it will not work with a tablet unless you have an NFC reader for the tablet.[...]

this product did not work with iphone 6 nor IPAD2 or greater. The Bluetooth did not work , no instruction manual , you need to go to the website to figure out. Very dissapointed

I bought this from Badanamu directly, but thought I would contribute to the conversation here.Kids love this, and they really do learn to read. That's the simplest way to say it. I have used with all of my students for the last two years, and I have never had such amazing results with conventional materials. Kids can't wait for "Badanamu Time" where they get to dance and sing and play "Story Time" together.Here's how we use the Learning Disc Set:1) We typically watch some of the Badanamu YouTube videos and to get in the spirit of learning and playing. Most of the time the kids dance and sing along, depending on their mood.2) We talk about some of the letters we are going to be using for the day. Let's say the letters C, A, and T. We talk about what sounds they make, maybe play some matching games, maybe sing another alphabet song.3) We play Story Time with the Learning Disc Set. Kids use the letter discs to move the story along, matching letters and sounds, spelling keywords, and blending letter sounds together to make whole words. This is the amazing part. Kids are using their hands and being active with a traditionally very tricky concept—blending letter sounds. It engages a different part of their brain, and it just clicks! I love it.4) We do one of the activities out of the Story Time activity books. Each one of the games or "stories" in the Story Time application has loads of pages in the activity books. Ranging from colorful phonics activities to more arts and crafts type things like making characters from the stories.Badanamu has been VERY supportive with any questions I have had along the way, even sending some extra activities and songs for my kids to use in the classroom. I have recommended this product to parents to use at home ever sense. Go for it!

Without any doubt, Story Time Learning Disc Set is the best hands-on literacy application I’ve ever tried. I bought this for my 4 year-old kids in my preschool. My teaching life has become much easier and more fun ever since! Everyone will agree with me on how hard it is to keep little kids stay focused during lessons. So as many preschool teachers do, I used to spend hours and hours to prepare fun, creative hands-on activities for my English lesson. But I don’t have to anymore because I’ve got the whole package now!The set comes with the Alphabet discs that I love and use the most! We use them not only for application game, but also a variety of games and activities like spelling, blending, letter recognition, and more. After playing story games, my kids and I spend about 20 – 30 minutes on either phonics pages or arts & crafts. What I love is that those extended activities are all included in the set. I just have to read the guide during the prep time and go for them!Most of all, the best part is… I can see my kids are really enjoying the class and actually learning amazingly well without even knowing that they’re learning something new. They just think they’re playing games and making crafts. I believe this is every educator’s dream, making kids enjoy learning. And my dream has come true with Badanamu!

This product is an absolute farce. It doesn't connect properly and some of the phonemic sounds are not even accurate! Do your studies before you buy. The more I read into it, the more I'm disappointed. I really wanted this to be what it said it was.

What a great concept and I believe there is an interactive Bluetooth Pen set on the way as well..
