Kids’ Town Park
Literacy through play
Enter a vibrant park to discover that words are the building blocks of life. Gather around the talking tree to hear your words repeated back to you in silly voices as you connect spoken and heard words. Spin the emotions wheel and look in the mirror to show your own happy, excited, confused or grumpy face as you discover the importance of labeling your feelings. Splash in a virtual pond and explore verbs as butterflies flutter and worms wriggle. The littlest learners can crawl and engage with mirrors, textured shapes and tactile letters as every ooh and ahh becomes a steppingstone to forming words.
Research shows that children who are exposed to 30 million words in intentional, meaningful ways before age 3 are set up for future success in reading comprehension, executive function, compassion and math, spatial and social-emotional skills. Begin your journey to 30 million in Kids’ Town Park.
