Flash Cards

Flash cards are one of the fastest, easiest ways to learn new information.  That is why you see so many companies such as Baby Einstein and Dr. Seuss producing them.  However, traditional flash cards can get bent, ripped, chewed on or lost – and they are expensive.

Support for Different Learning Styles

Flash cards can be an effective tool for fostering the mastery of new words and concepts.  While many people think of flash cards as a great way to learn new words many people do not think of flash cards as a means of conveying abstract emotions or new concepts.

Children, just like adults, learn new skills in different ways.  Many children are visual learners.  They think in pictures and words can be almost like a second language for them.  Visual learners are helped by visual support.  Our flash card applications provide visual aids to reduce stress for children and promote learning in a fun, interactive way.

For those children that respond better to auditory stimuli, we have included real audio to each application in order to provide another dimension to traditional flash cards and promote verbal imitation for children with emerging language skills.

Visual and Auditory Reinforcement

It is said that background music may aid in developing memory.  Most importantly, memory recall improves when the same music is played during learning.  All of our flash cards applications include classical music from the world’s top composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky along with random visual reinforcement to hold your child’s interest.

Mobile Learning

Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch are two new mobile devices that support many different applications.  These portable devices make it possible for your child to learn on the go.  The iPhone and iPod Touch are also great tools for traveling teachers and therapist.

Next time you are on an airplane or standing in line with a young child, hand them your iPhone or iPod Touch and watch them learn something new.
