Children’s Interactive Software
For ages 4 – 11

From counting to multiplication
From ABC’s to early reading skills

Children’s Interactive Software should be fun!  It should help kids learn their ABC’s, with counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and early reading skills.  Children’s Interactive Software should also aid in critical thinking such as basic problem solving.

Here we will examine various Children’s Interactive Software packages to give you a preview of what they teach and how well your kids can pay attention to them.  If it’s not fun, it won’t hold their attention.  Remember, they will be exposed to computers in school, and giving them a leg up with Children’s Interactive Software at a younger age will help them adapt better in school.

We will begin with Interactive Software for kids ages 4 and up.  By the age of 4 a child should understand the basic concepts of point and click with a mouse; this is after all the computer age, and they’ve probably already been begging you for a chance to sit at the computer.  That is all they will need to start with a Children’s Interactive Software package; a motivation to learn and the basic concepts of point and click.

Learning your ABC’s is the foundation of early reading skills, just as counting is the foundation of all mathematics.  Most kids begin to sing their ABC’s and count to ten by the age of three of four, but with little understanding of what it means to read and do math.  Children’ Interactive Software can help them learn the basics as well as what they mean.

If the Software is fun, it will foster their motivation to learn.  Cartoons and children’s music should be featured with the software, when the kids are young.  This helps tie in the cartoons they’ve already been viewing with the Software package.

As they progress, the text should be packed with pictures to spark the imagination of all the young readers using the Children’s Interactive Software
IMMORTAL CITIES: CHILDREN OF THE NILE
package.  A trip to the pyramids of Egypt for all those young archaeologists or a trip in a race car for car and truck enthusiasts; these should all be rewards for children who get their subject matter correct.  Children’s Interactive Software can do all of this.

Next we will begin by examining a few Children’s Interactive Software packages for the very young.  Take your child’s imagination as far as it can go with Children’s Interactive Software.  Contribute your ideas to our blog!
