Here at LearningWorks for Kids, we will show you how to use video games and other digital technologies to improve your child’s reading, writing, and mathematical skills. While we provide information about educational software and other instructional products, we focus on showing kids how to use video games, cell phones, iPods, and other fun technologies to learn and practice these key academic skills.

In addition, because educational research has shown that Thinking Skills such as Planning, Working Memory, Organization, and Time Management are crucial to academic success, we will help you find digital technologies and other activities that develop these important thinking skills.

Reading

Reading skills are a core component of success in today’s world. However, reading is not a natural activity. If it was, children would instinctively acquire this skill just as they do spoken language. Instead, reading must be taught, practiced, and applied. We will show you how to choose and use video games and other digital technologies to improve your child’s reading skills.

 

Writing

Writing is a complex skill that requires the capacity to express one’s thoughts and ideas in some type of written form. Effective writing requires many language-based and thinking skills. We will show you how to choose and use video games and other digital technologies to improve your child’s writing.

 

 

Mathematics

Mathematical skills are crucial in today’s technological society. To be successful, children need to comprehend much more than simple mathematic computations. They must learn to apply their mathematical knowledge to the demands of a complex world. We will show you how to choose and use video games and other digital technologies to improve your child’s real-world math skills.
