READING
The blocks have all the ABC and punctuation marks on their planes. The bases of the blocks are connectable in a way that allows only left-to-right direction of the words and automatically prevents the letters from reverse-reading or upside-down position.
The size of the blocks has been chosen so that it develops natural sensitivity (sensory capability) and motility of child’s fingers, prepares him for writing and contributes to correct pronunciation. Thus, in the process of reading not only speech-motor (when a child is pronouncing the letters and words) and visual images get activated, but also a motor image of word-combinations presented as a set of blocks. It allows fuller and more active synchronization and also considerably improves visual memory.
MATH
The blocks have all math symbols studied by children up to 9 years old. It forms counting skills, helps to memorize simple mathematical rules and develops ideas of length, amount, space and volume of objects.
WRITING
The letters should be drawn 3-4 times. A child should keep the pressure stable when outlining straight and slope lines and connecting elements, avoid overpressure. Fingers should easily feel the relief bottom through the pen.
After practicing the Trainer lines, a child should reproduce the letter in his copybook with a pen 4-5 times. He should keep the pressure stable in order to make the lines equal in size, mind the proportions of width and height, develop the softness of curves.
After practicing the Trainer lines, a child should reproduce the letter on the screen of a smartphone with a stylus 4-5 times. The method of writing with a stylus is the same as the penwriting one. The pressure is low. Handwriting is checked with an OCR.<
After practicing the Trainer lines, a child should reproduce the letter on the iPad screen with his index finger 4-5 times. The method of writing with a finger is based on copying and zooming the writing skills gained due to the Trainer. No pressure is applied, the finger is sliding along the screen. Handwriting is checked with an OCR.
Choose any letter on the Trainer and touch the relief line with a pen. Close your eyes and outline the letter 3-4 times. Guess the letter from the direction of your pen, a number of elements, relief ridges and sound clicks frequency. Compare it to the image you’ve outlined. Got the result? Way to go!
