Children Can Learn a Language at the Library with KidSpeak on Transparent Language Online!
You’ve heard it before and it’s worth hearing again: the best time to start learning a new language is as early as possible. The cognitive benefits of bilingualism pay off into adulthood.
Using the successful immersion approach preferred for young children, KidSpeak™ introduces the alphabet and word recognition, simple sentences, how to use plural and singular, how to distinguish between words that look and sound similar, simple addition and subtraction, how to tell time, number recognition (matching numbers to written words), and correct pronunciation.
Best of all, your child can learn from anywhere (once you’ve signed up at the library, of course!) KidSpeak™ can be used through a web browser on computers. To learn more about KidSpeak™ or Transparent Language Online, give us a call or swing by your local branch to get started!...
