For the little girl who narrates her whole day in song, a kid-sized karaoke machine hands her a microphone and a spotlight. She can sing along to her favorite tunes, hear her own voice come through the speaker, and put on a living-room concert for the family.

Belting out songs also builds confidence and language, so she is learning without ever noticing it.
