Each year, millions of Americans participate in the tradition of creating a New Year’s resolution. While most select a resolution involving fitness or travel, many parents instead resolve to have a more active role in their child’s education. This resolution can make a big impact, as parental involvement in education can result in benefits including decreases in absenteeism, greater student motivation, and improved grades.
If you are one of the many parents resolved to set your child up for greater academic success in 2022 – both in and out of the classroom – ABCmouse is here to help! You can feel confident that you’ll be effectively supporting your child’s education by enlisting this research-proven edtech program designed by education experts to help your child improve academic skills, build a strong foundation for academic success, inspire a love of learning, and develop their learner identity.
Created by leading education technology innovator Age of Learning, ABCmouse is a digital early learning program for children ages of 2 to 8 that offers comprehensive supplementary curriculum with more than 10,000 engaging learning activities—interactive games, puzzles, fiction and non-fiction books, videos, songs, art activities, and more—covering math, reading, science, health, social studies, art, and music.
With ABCmouse, you don’t have to be an education expert or worry if your child is learning the appropriate academic skills. The program includes a Step-by-Step Learning Path that guides children from one learning activity to the next in an expert-designed sequence and standards-aligned curriculum for each age or grade level. The program also makes it easy for you to track your child’s progress.
You will also be thrilled that you don’t have to beg your kids to use the program: ABCmouse is so engaging and fun, kids often think about it as “playing,” even though everything in the program was intentionally designed to educate. The program also encourages “unguided learning”; kids can easily explore activities and topics that interest them most off their learning path. If they get excited about dinosaurs, space, or sea creatures, for example, they can learn about those topics, further developing their love of learning and learner identity.
And ABCmouse doesn’t require a big commitment to see big results.
The program has been the subject of a number of research studies designed to validate its educational benefits. In one randomized, double-blind experimental study, researchers examined the impact of home use of ABCmouse by kindergarten-aged children. Learners using ABCmouse were shown to make significantly greater math and literacy gains with as little as 45 minutes of ABCmouse usage, completing at least 15 learning activities across 3 unique days per week, compared to children who did not use ABCmouse. When you can see positive results like these with such a small commitment of time, ABCmouse makes it easy for families to follow through with their at-home learning resolution.
ABCmouse can also help parents:
- Support and reinforce classroom learning: As many educators stress, one of the foundations of education is repetition. The more a student is exposed to a subject, the more likely they are to remember key concepts and build a foundational understanding. However, many students need more than what is offered in school and will benefit from at-home supplemental learning. ABCmouse allows children to engage and interact more with the subject matter on their own time to reinforce classroom learning and skills.
- Foster a love of learning: ABCmouse was designed to teach all subjects in a fun and engaging way. With over 10,000 learning activities that cover all major subjects, ABCmouse offers families a learning environment that helps children develop not only critical academic early learning skills, but also a love of learning.
- Help your child become more academically confident: When students gain academic confidence, it enhances their ability to learn. ABCmouse can provide students with engaging learning activities that they’ll want to complete, along with encouragement and rewards to help them feel supported and successful, boosting their academic confidence!
- Help your child fulfill their unique learning needs: By integrating ABCmouse into a child’s daily routine, parents can help support their unique learning needs. As ABCmouse offers a wide range of learning activities, each child can find many unique activities that spark their curiosity and get them excited about learning.
If this is the year you are determined to fully support your child’s education and put them on the path to build a strong foundation for academic success and a love of learning, ABCmouse can help make it happen!
While many other resolutions can seem impossible to keep, supporting your child’s education with ABCmouse is one resolution that’s easy to get started with, easy to keep up with, and easy to see results with—your child’s new academic skills, increased academic confidence, and a growing love of learning.
