Education Software and Games for Preschool Kids

With most parents upwardly mobile, there is hardly any time for the kids at the end of the day, especially so if they have to constantly be helped in doing their homework manually. This situation becomes worse if the parent gets home late, meaning that the kids will go to sleep without doing their homework, and be forced to wake up extra early in order to do it, which is unhealthy because of several reasons.

ü First of all, they will have gone to bed later than they should have, for waiting for the parent to assist with their homework, which translates to getting less sleep

ü Secondly, the kid will be forced to wake up earlier than usual, depriving themselves of their much needed sleep, in order to not only do the homework, but also to get a glimpse of a parent they might not see until the next day

Although nowadays parenting is tricky, many parents have gotten the much needed solace from special software that is customized to make learning an experience that is full of fun, enjoyment and really educationally easy. Investing in these software will go a long way into helping a child in their preschool year easily learn and grasp the alphabet, read, do some math while at the same time acquire some much needed skills in computer usage. All this is made possible with an investment into the software for kids’ educational software and computer games.

For instance, Reader Rabbit Personalized Preschool (PN: 32720) is one such favorite software with kids which lends a hand in the preparation of the kids for Preschool and beyond. The software is

ü Chock full of shapes

ü Numbers

ü Letters

ü Many other subjects that would be of interest to a preschool kid

The software is guaranteed to keep and maintain the child’s engagement in entertainment for hours on end, not forgetting a fun learning experience. At only $ 14.95 the benefits sure are a bargain. It comes as a CD ROM set, with Reader Rabbit and friends keeping the kids company on a ride to new places that are full of wonder and excitement. The software also boasts of letters, numbers and shapes that are easy for the kids to learn.

Another such software is Arthur’s Preschool (PN: 27805), which is bubbling with more learning and fun for kids of preschool years. This software has demystified preschool, which used to be thought of as the hardest hurdle for kids, as Arthur is ready and willing to direct the kids through a learning experience where they can have fun as they build strong and vital skills, in a manner akin to just playing an ordinary and everyday game. The price is also cheap to afford, with a lot to offer, retailing at $ 14.95 only! It comes in the form of a CD ROM set and contains the puppet show, sandbox and a much needed combination in terms of fun and learning. It is also easy to navigate around as it has features that are very helpful to kids.

The importance of spelling


Not only is being able to read important for children, but it is also extremely important that children can spell well.

As children grow older they will be told to write papers and essays, within Middle schools and High schools, and it is important that their spelling and grammar are focused on. Many college students today suffer within their English classes, or classes that include creating reports due to the fact that they did not focus on their spelling and grammar skills as a child.

It is a good idea to get your kids spelling early! http://www.softwareforkids.com/children-software/middle-school/33442.html

The importance of computers and your child's education

Article posted by PBS Parents - Experts Speak Out - "Clicking with Children"

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is an organization that sets standards of excellence for programs for children from birth through age eight. Their research shows that computers can have important benefits for even very young children, including language development, literacy development, social development, and the development of important problem-solving skills. However, computers are most beneficial when parents and teachers provide appropriate guidance, when computer use is related to other kinds of learning, when high-quality software is used, and when children work on the computer with peers or adults.

The following specific recommendations from NAEYC about the use of computers with young children are based on both current research in child development and the professional opinions of early childhood educators.

  • Computers should supplement--and not replace--activities and materials such as art, sand, water, books, music, outdoor exploration, experimenting with writing materials, dramatic play, and socializing with other children.
  • Parents should guide children's use of computers. Be on hand to help your child, answer questions, and interact with your child as she works on the computer.
  • Take the time to observe and participate in computer activities to gain an understanding about how your child thinks and learns. Observing children at the computer can reveal much about the way children are thinking and solving problems.
  • Work with your child on the computer, and encourage him to work with a sibling or friend whenever possible. Using computers with others encourages important social skills, such as turn-taking and cooperation, and helps build your child's ability to speak and listen.
  • Learn more about software for young children, and carefully preview the software your child uses. While there are many high-quality products available, some software is not appropriate for young children because it is difficult to use, highlights violent themes, or does not foster language or learning.
