What People Say About Us
I spent ten minutes helping my Kindergarten son get started with Elementary Family Literacy. I checked in with him every-now-and-then, watching what he was doing and answering his questions. After an hour and half, he was still engaged and smiling at his progress. That's the most productive ten minutes I ever spent with him."
It is fantastic for lower-level students to listen to stories. As they listen, they gain phonemic awareness of English, vocabulary knowledge and support for their own efforts to decode unfamiliar English words. The higher-level students can work ahead on their own. They particularly like doing the word search puzzles which help them with their spelling, and later, writing.”
“I am the mother of three children, aged 11, 15, and 17. We have been working with the program for three months now, and this is one of their favorite parts of the day, working with the program, especially in writing. My youngest has shown improvement in her sentence structures, has started using more complex sentences as well as improvement in spelling. My eldest enjoys the writing prompts and the storytelling feature. My middle child likes that it didn’t seem like extra work."
The Family Learning Company is the leader in learning tools and technology designed specifically for shared use by students and their families. Our Interactive Family Literacy (IFL) suite of products for Pre-K, elementary, middle, and high school students provides the research-proven foundational reading & writing support students need to master literacy in their home environment. The included adult literacy module helps parents improve their own reading and writing to help them help their children, and improve their own economic status.
Educators have been working to make a difference for students struggling with reading for decades. While many approaches have proven to be effective, research shows students learn with their parents have a significant advantage.
Learning within the family unit provides students with enhanced decoding skills, and increases vocabulary, fluency and comprehension, leading to greater academic success.
This is the concept behind the Family Learning Company – the idea that family learning greatly enhances reading skills. When families learn together, they create an environment that nurtures a profound love for reading. Interactive Family Literacy software provides a diverse set of fiction and non-fiction ebooks, enriching children’s reading experiences.
The program also provides these experiences in at least two languages; usually English and Spanish in the US, to best support both native English speakers and immigrant learners. Vietnamese and Kiswahili are also available, and additional languages may be produced upon request.
The combination of family learning, heritage language support, and technology not only improves reading skills but also ignites a lasting passion for exploring the world through books. Ultimately, family learning fosters a lifelong journey of enriched literacy skills and economic success.
