PLAYTIME
Don't under estimate the value of playtime as part of the educational process. Kids are hardwired for play and if missing can hamper their learning abilities.
We realize that tryting to figure out with the many options available how to get started can be overwelming. Our belief is that kids learn better when they are interestd in learning as opposed to being taught. They are already inspired naturally at birth to learn and all you have to do is add more inspiration.
So we took 4 option to include Khan Academy for reading, Story Online to encourage kids to read Nature and Animals videos to teach kids about nature and animal, and playtime.
The Three Learning Engine
Engine 1 - Learn To Read - Prime Source Khan Academy
Children work on age-appropriate reading skills.
Focus areas can include:
-
Phonics
-
Vocabulary
-
Reading comprehension

Spelling

Grammar
-
Sentence building

Reading fluency

Understanding stories
IMPACTT Acadamy Parent Role
Parents don't have to be the teacher.
They become the Learning Coach.
Their job is to encourage the child, ask questions and celebrate progress.
Story Online
2. Listen & Imagine - Make Reading Exciting
Use Storyline Online, where children can hear well-known actors and other performers read children's books. The goal isn't simply reading practice—it is to help children discover that books can be exciting, entertaining, and connected to the real world.
Engine 2 - Fall In Love With Books - Primary Source - Storyline Online
Children watch engaging readings of children's books by actors and other performers.
This creates a bridge between:
Watching → Listening → Reading → Understanding
After the story, parents can ask simple questions:
"What was the story about?"
"Who was your favorite character?"
"What problem did the character have?"
"How did the character solve it?"
"What would you have done?"
The goal is to help children discover:
"Books are fun."
That attitude can be just as important as the reading skill itself.
Engine 3 - Learn Through Animals & Nature
Children are naturally fascinated by animals.
Use that fascination as a doorway into education.
A child interested in:
🦁 Lions
🦈 Sharks
🐘 Elephants
🦖 Dinosaurs
🐬 Dolphins
🦅 Eagles
🐍 Snakes
🐝 Bees
🐒 Monkeys
🐋 Whales
