Being an English teacher for students till 4th grade, I realize the importance of phonics and a strong language base for kids. In a class every kid has its own pace of learning, understanding and grasping depending on the level of intelligence, aptitude and alertness. I have come across kids with disorders like dyslexia, autism too and I wanted these kids to be trained on a common platform like other children. The challenging factor for me was to hold the attention of each child as every child is not ready to study at the same time. But, with such interactive and entertaining lessons in ClicknRead, it was no more challenging!
This online reading program has letter sounds, word endings, prefixes, suffixes, word blending, etc. It reinforces listening skills and teaches basic keyboarding and mouse computing skills simultaneously which help in better co-ordination of their eyes and ears. It enhances their speaking skills in terms of fluency, accent, pronounciation etc, and then reading skills, sentence formation and so on.
ClicknRead gives them the freedom of exploring and practicing these skills in a very comfortable environment. Children learn at their own pace as they see and hear letters, words, and sentences on the computer and find them on the keyboard.
What I found as one of the best features in the tool was that it doesn’t have too many mediums to be used like flash cards, CD’s, kits, pieces, puzzles, etc. Here, the child focuses completely on the program which helps in better concentration.
The series of these 100 lessons are put sequentially so that they move ahead step by step. After completion of each lesson by the student, the result appears informing the number of attempts taken by them to respond correctly. I have also made them repeat the lessons until they master it. Also, the scores can be compared with other students for the respective lessons to encourage a competitive spirit amongst each other. The assessment of the reports is comprehensive and accurate. It helps me in judging the progress of every child.
It is overwhelming to see my students grow independently with such high self-confidence and also the smiles on their proud parents!
