Children Taught To Read by the Internet
April 14, 2008 on 4:22 am | In Home |Parents and teachers are now turning to the power of the Internet to deliver literacy coaching to their children.
The Internet has proved an extremely good medium for that, despite some people’s reservations. Here’s why:
1 It is on the computer. Children naturally like doing activities on the computer.
2 Teaching Synthetic Phonics normally takes a lot of training. But the Internet can be a fully trained individual coach for each child.
3 Children are very proud and do not like to get things wrong. It is less stressful to be working unaided on the computer than with an adult.
4 The Internet can adjust each activity to the right level for each child.
5 The exact dose of education can be controlled. We have found that just 10 minutes per day gets the best results.
Whatever people believe, the truth lies in the results. We have seen children crack reading in just days and weeks, having struggled for years with conventional teaching approaches.
