Changing the Way Students Learn to Read

If you are headed to FETC next week, you will be in for a treat! The amount of new educational technology that has been released this year is staggering. Teachers can pretty much pick their interface (computer, iPad, Google, Wii, etc.) and programs are available. Never before have technology companies invested so heavily in education.

It's about time that educators start getting tools that resemble the toys kids are playing with. Just the other day I was sitting in my living room, watching my 3 y.o. teach my wife how to use her Android phone and, then, he started working on my Mother-in-Law's iPad. How do his Pre-K teachers compete with that?

If you come check us out while you are there at FETC, not only will you find our booth very enticing (great job Marketing!), you will also get a chance to see our new Letters alive program in action. We're hoping that this will be the next big thing to help young readers engage. Personally, I think it is going to work because we had real teachers helping us all along the development process. Here is a little video that shows some of our teachers and testers.

Really exciting stuff, right?
