First Words for Baby helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Working Memory: Recalling and retaining information in our minds while working.

ABC apps are a great way for young children to practice their working memory skills. All of the activities in the app are designed to help children hear and see the sounds of words and letters while being asked to perform a task such as dragging and dropping an item into the correct space on the screen. These types of activities help build the connection in the child’s brain between the information they are being presented and the task they are trying to complete. 

Focus: Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.

Learning apps are also a great way for children to begin to practice their focusing skills. Because the games and activities in First Words for Baby are short and sustained, children will be practicing this skill by paying attention to the directions and then participating in the game.
