I've been looking for more learning activities at home since my little guy won"t be going to preschool until next fall, so I was curious when I got an opportunity to review a copy of the Pre K Scholars Kindergarten Readiness Kit DVD.

The program was developed by a mom of four who was also a former kindergarten teacher. The DVD is for computer use only, and my little guy was engaged from the first time we sat down at the computer. The program centers on the residents of "Scholarville" that are multicultural characters with different occupations related to a different letter of the alphabet.

The organization of the 22-week lesson plan is a bit different than other programs because they start with letters/sounds that are easier for the pre kindergarten crowd. Instead of starting with the letter A, the program starts with the letter P.

Each lesson includes a guessing game, animated flash cards, and printables that make it easy to incorporate into different times of the day. There is also a poster available of Scholarville. My little guy loved to point out the character that he had learned in the lesson on the "map" of Scholarville.

I would definitely recommend the Pre K Scholars Kindergarten Readiness program as an alternative to preschool or even as a supplement to preschool if you feel like your child might need extra work or is curious to learn more. In a homeschool environment, this product would be fantastic. It"s organized in lesson plans already making it easy to work your way through the education.

To make this even easier for parents, Pre K Scholars has just released an iPad app (there is also an app available for iPhones). My son is already using the iPad to learn his letters and sounds, so he really enjoyed playing more "games" that had the characters that he had been meeting during our Pre K Scholars lessons.

The good news is that Pre K Scholars Kindergarten Readiness Kit starts at only $39.95. Until December 25th, you can save 25% off of all products making this a great deal! The Pre K Scholars iPad app is only $3.99, but for an introductory period it"s only 99 cents, so hop over and grab it!

Here"s a chance for you to win your own copy of the Pre K Scholars Kindergarden Readiness Kit. Enter the giveaway up to four times below before midnight on December 31, 2011. A winner will be selected at random and will be notified via email.

Disclosure: I was provided a review copy of the Pre K Scholars Kindergarten Readiness Kit DVD and the iPad app.
