Interactivity
Psychological research has shown that the best way for our children to learn how to recite and count numbers is through active and playful methods.
At this age group, children develop the ability to process a series of stimuli, as well as an understanding of quantity and the idea of numbers.
Abilities nurtured by this book:
Becoming familiar with the names of the numbers;
Being able to count (unlike reciting, counting carries an immediate link to the recited objects)
Being able to process a series of input while maintaining concentration
Overcoming diversions, such as a variety of shapes and of possibilities, challenging and improving the child’s abilities to discern. The variety in this story is adequately challenging while not too distracting, as all the characters belong to the same category (all being animals).
Hi everyone,
We are so happy to be launching our website and even happier you are here to share it with us!
As I write this blog post we are putting the finishing touches on our first book app, that will be available very soon on the App Store, and I can’t help but look back on how it all got started. A simple conversation, between friends that happen to also be parents, about whether our children would still want to curl up with a good book on a rainy day like we did (we still do!), now that all these new and fast technologies are appearing out of every corner of the world. To us it is truly amazing and exciting that through book apps these two worlds can now be combined.
We will be keeping in touch(OO) whenever there is something interesting to share with you and most of all to keep the lines of communication open between you and us.
In the meantime, feel free to spread the word about us, by directing your friends, colleagues, family, acquaintances and random relevant strangers to www.touchoo.com, or share with them info about us through Facebook or Twitter.
