11/20/07 Kristina Hollon - Leap into learning

One teacher is leaping into learning to help her students expand on their ABC's.

Kristina Hollon from Charles H. Castle elementary school in Bakersfield designed a program that will get her students a new high tech interactive learning system.

Her program "Leap into Learning" allows her students to use new Leap Frog electronic products they can taken home with them.

With the wave of a magic wand these electronic books help students learn their ABC's.

But don't judge a book by it's cover. It may seem like fun and games, but it really teaches students math skills, rhyming and even telling time.

Mrs. Hollon says many of her students don't have access to computers or books so she hopes this will expand their education to become more successful later on in life.
