We at Wordsmart believe that every child deserves the most positive learning-to-read experience. Therefore we have integrated the essential elements of effective reading into a fun, smart, and supportive learning-to-read app. Because happy kids are better learners that live up to their full potential. Designed by experts: Our app is based on scientific research and personal experience in literacy, mindfulness and positive psychology. Wordsmart incorporates essential literacy tasks which include phonological awareness, letter recognition, letter-sound matching, and sight words so children can build a strong foundation for reading. Wordsmart uses the magic of interactive storytelling: Our fun and child-centred tasks are embedded in a fantastical story. Kids feel joy & excitement when joining our characters Tama & Tracey on their adventures. The interactive story motivates them to keep going even if tasks become more challenging. Wordsmart triggers the children’s learning sweet spot: Our tasks stimulate the child’s analytical as well as their creative side. Children create a meaningful connection with the learning content. The young learner retains acquired knowledge better and learns faster. Wordsmart encourages healthy behaviours in young learners: We have taken learning-to-read one step further. Our digital learning environment supports psychological well-being in a holistic way. Unique mindfulness activities are an integral part of the child’s learning journey. We use strategies to support and strengthen healthy core beliefs so that children experience positive emotions while learning. Children at their best!
