These games are unusual looking and the sounds are intentionally modified. They are designed to interact with cognitive function at a deep level required to rewire learning.
About The Exercises
Students are presented with quick-fire tasks that get faster and more complex, building learning and reading skills in tiny increments.
Each exercise broadly targets one or more skill gaps. If the student is proficient in the skills, she will progress quickly. If not, work begins.
Later exercises hone in on narrower reading-specific and learning skills.
How They Help
As fundamental skill gaps holding back learning resolve, higher-level skills are freer to develop.
Learning momentum feeds confidence and a lean-in attitude that leads to further acceleration.
