Rock 'N Learn: Money & Making Change Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I've been working with Bella on learning about money and how to count change. She is starting to get the hang of it, but it doesn't hurt to have the help of the new Rock 'N Learn DVD we received entitled Money & Making Change. This DVD follows Bill (a dollar bill) and Penny (you guessed it, a penny) as they count how much money Penny has in her piggy bank. They also teach children how to pay for things by having a pretend yard sale. This is a very fun and informative DVD for kids ages 6 and up. Bella really liked listening to the fun songs and is learning even more about money and how it works! Rock 'N Learn has such wonderful learning DVD's and CD's for our kids. They are fun for kids to watch and at the same time, they may pick up a lesson or two!

Program Description:

Penny and Bill know how to shake things up when it comes to counting money and making change. Cool songs and games provide plenty of practice with real-world skills. Learn about coins and how they relate to one another, strategies for counting cash, "skip counting," expressing money in written terms, how to make change, and more. You’ll have lots of fun as you gain valuable skills you can bank on.

For ages 6 & up. Approx. 57 minutes.


More about Rock 'N Learn:


Rock 'N Learn began as an idea that would help children learn by putting educational material to music with a current sound -- the kind of music that kids enjoy and find motivating. Now with over 50 products, we have sold millions of audio/book and video programs to teachers and parents throughout the United States, Canada, and other countries.

Rock 'N Learn programs help students learn math, phonics, reading, early childhood, social studies, Spanish, test-taking strategies, writing, and science. Our DVDs incorporate music with exciting, colorful imagery.

Headquartered in Conroe, Texas, just north of Houston, Rock 'N Learn is owned and operated by its founders, Richard and Brad Caudle.

Working as a school psychologist in 1986, Richard saw the need for multi-sensory learning programs using the styles of music that kids love. He consulted his younger brother Brad, an accomplished musician, to record their first program to help kids learn multiplication facts. Strong sales of this recording in the school specialty and book markets led to other programs and the start of a successful company.

Richard and Brad never varied from their number one goal of providing children with programs that would make learning easier and fun. Brad's wife Melissa, a former second-grade teacher, writes material and coordinates educational research for Rock 'N Learn. Richard's wife, Kathie, manages our sales and marketing team.

Rock 'N Learn programs have received numerous awards such as Dr. Toy, Parents' Choice, iParenting, National Parenting Publications, Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice, Early Childhood News, National Parenting Center, and Parent's Guide to Children's Media. Our programs lead in the areas of quality and customer satisfaction based on surveys of school supply stores.

As documented in case studies by numerous school districts, Rock 'N Learn programs work. The overwhelmingly positive response from parents, teachers, and kids generates tremendous word-of-mouth support. By consulting with educators and featuring talented vocalists and performers, Rock 'N Learn will continue to develop quality audio and video programs that hold interest and help kids learn.

Rock 'N Learn also has some FREE websites to help your children learn!
