Teaches Vocabulary Development

Vocabulary development refers to an expansion of the spoken and written words children understand and use to communicate with others. The larger their vocabulary, the easier it is for children to comprehend, and think critically about, what they read. To develop vocabulary, children compare and contrast word meanings, use context, analyse root words (e.g., "happy" in "unhappy") and word roots (e.g., mem in "memory" and "remember"), combine forms (e.g., "graph" in "telegraph"), and work with other elements such as prefixes and suffixes (e.g., un- in "untie," -ful in "helpful").

Teaches Spelling

Spelling refers to the process of representing language in a written form with the correct letters of a word placed in an accepted order. Children first use "invented spelling" to associate letters with sounds in words that they know. Over time, and with instruction, children develop conventional spelling. Primary-school children learn how to spell frequently used words, starting with those in the most basic pattern of consonant-vowel-consonant (e.g., hat), followed by words with more advanced patterns (e.g., shape) and by words with multiple syllables (e.g., computer). They also learn the fundamental spelling rules (e.g., change y to i before adding the endings -es or -ed), and they know to watch for commonly misspelled words.

	Many Ways to Play! Read the whole story; combine reading with activities; or just play activities!
Teaches English Grammar Grammar refers to the study of the rules that govern the use of a language (e.g., subject-verb agreement). That set of rules is also referred to as the grammar of the language, and each language has its own distinct grammar. Related to grammar, children also learn about standard usage (e.g., selecting the right word) and mechanics (e.g., punctuation conventions). During their early school years, children learn everything from selecting the best word order within a sentence and properly using commas, colons and apostrophes, to avoiding double negatives.		Teaches Reading Reading refers to the process of understanding a written, linguistic message; the process of obtaining meaning from printed language; or the process of orally expressing printed language in a meaningful way. In primary school, children build upon the pre-reading and early reading skills they acquired prior to starting school. Children continue to expand their vocabularies and they become increasingly proficient at word recognition (the process of getting meaning from written symbols or spoken sounds), both of which lead to reading fluency. In turn, the ability to read fluently allows children to understand the meaning of the words and ideas in books, magazines and other printed or electronic materials, as well as to analyse and synthesize these materials. Reading fluently also allows children to become proficient critical thinkers. Throughout their school years, children develop their fluency, comprehension and other thinking skills by participating in book discussions, by reading more advanced textbooks and stories with more complex structures (e.g., flashbacks), and by writing book reviews, research reports and responses to literature. School children also use reading as a way to explore personal interests, and they read for enjoyment.

TEACHES LOGIC Logic refers to valid reasoning or to a system of reasoning used to draw correct conclusions. Children use logic in everyday situations (e.g., determining cause-and-effect relationships) and in mathematical problem solving. Children begin to develop logic skills as newborns, and expand upon their understanding as they get older.
TEACHES MATHS Children learn important mathematical concepts and processes in the areas of numbers and operations (e.g., addition, division), algebra, geometry, measurement, data analysis and probability, and mathematical reasoning (e.g., recognising and describing connections between problems). Children begin to develop maths skills as infants and expand upon their understanding as they get older.
TEACHES READING AND LAGUAGE Language arts refers to the elements of language use — typically oral language (speech); listening; reading; and writing, including spelling and vocabulary. Reading refers to the process of understanding a written, linguistic message; the process of obtaining meaning from printed language; or the process of orally expressing printed language in a meaningful way.
