South Carolina ETV partner statement........  

Family learning, driven by family engagement and this innovative family literacy software, significantly boosts reading skills. Learning together as a family creates an environment fostering a deep appreciation for reading. Through the software, diverse storytelling broadens children's reading experiences. These collaborative activities prompt discussions about different story elements, enhancing critical thinking and understanding. 

Additionally, parental involvement as reading role models greatly influences children's eagerness to learn. The fusion of family learning, parent engagement, and technology not only enhances reading skills but also sparks an enduring love for exploring the world through books. Ultimately, family learning cultivates a lifelong journey of enriched literacy.

When they use the software, kids practice the reading and writing skills they learn in school - and master them. Research proves that when kids are in family learning programs, they score higher in reading, higher in writing and higher in the other school subjects like science and history.

Learning Tips
  • The software works best when you do it with your child for 5-10 minutes and then let them continue without you.
  • Children and adults learn best when they study at the same time every day – for example, 15-20 minutes each day after dinner. Trade one TV show for reading and writing!
  • Before you start, set a goal in the program with your child. Achieving a goal is a big deal!
