learn in disguise
Parents can help children “learn in disguise” at home with national curriculum matched educational games and online paperless books from Keen2Learn.
Recent research shows that 80% of a child’s academic success is a direct result of support learning at home from parents, but before tired mums and dads across the nation groan in despair at the thought of sitting down with grumpy children and dog-eared homework books – there is a fantastic educationally-approved solution!
At the click of a mouse, Keen2Learn’s (www.keen2learn.co.uk) website reveals an extensive range of educational games and toys to provide the whole family with a huge amount of fun whilst learning through games, DVD’s, activities, worksheets, puzzles and online links about literacy, numeracy, science, ICT and other subjects. Used by teachers nationwide, as well as parents, these educational fun games are matched to the national curriculum’s Key Stages, and encourages proactive play and learning which makes a significant difference to the child’s understanding and learning retention.
Intel award-winning website Keen2Learn’s resources are geared from foundation stage through to Key Stage 4 (age 3 to 16), as well as resources for parents and teachers especially designed for children with special educational needs, including gifted and talented, learning difficulties, and hearing and visually impaired children.
The Mighty Book paperless online book service on the Keen2Learn site is a fantastic way of parents reading regularly with their children in a fun, educational way without the need for expensive books – it’s much better for the environment too, and at just £16 for a year’s unlimited access subscription, is absolutely the most cost-effective way of enjoying regular reading with your child.
Reading is encouraged through highlighted scripts and animated stories, which engages the child’s imagination and allows them to learn to read at their own speed accompanied by their favourite adult! The books are written mainly by schools, teams and individuals and Keen2Learn is currently running a competition to write a 2000 word minimum story which will be judged by a children’s author and turned into a Mighty Book by the end of January 2009.
Keen2Learn’s online shop maintains the highest ethical standards – quoted costs include VAT and delivery is free.
