Alphabet, Phonics and LanguageUse our free educational software in a balanced approach to teach your child to read Your child should have alphabet and phonics skills, as well as the excitement of language, in learning to read. Use your computer to teach skills, so that you can concentrate on introducing your child to the richness of our literature (And you thought you were just reading to them!). Recent research favors an approach that is based on literature, but also teaches the skills necessary for the child to use to keep from floundering in the early stages of deciphering print. A computer is good at making skill learning fun and fast. A computer isn't very good at reading a story to your child curled up on the sofa at bedtime. Use a computer for what it does best, teaching enough skills to get the child reading, but concentrate on reading, especially reading for meaning, because that is why we read. |
