Computer games and apps can be useful tools for preschool children to learn Latvian, as they offer interactive and engaging learning methods. They can give children a fun and effective way to learn their mother tongue.
Here are some ways they can help:
– Interactive learning: computer games and apps often offer interactive tasks that stimulate the child’s attention and encourage active learning. For example, children can answer questions, complete tasks or play learning games that help them learn new words and phrases.
– Visual and sound stimuli: Games and apps usually use bright colours, pictures and sounds to help children remember words and expressions more easily. Visual and audio information are often combined to promote more effective learning.
– Repetition and practice: apps allow children to repeat and practise the language, which is essential for consolidating knowledge. This practice helps children learn the basics of language, such as grammar and pronunciation.
– Engagement and motivation: the game format is often motivating for children as they can get rewards or points for correct answers. This helps to keep them interested and motivated to keep learning.
– Personalised learning experience: some apps offer a personalised learning experience that adapts to your child’s level of knowledge and pace of progress. This allows the child to learn at their own pace, ensuring an optimal learning experience.
– Developing language skills: some apps are designed to help children develop specific language skills, such as reading, writing or listening. Children can practise these skills in games or interactive exercises.
!!! As a reminder, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children under 2 years of age avoid screen time and that children between 2 and 4 years of age limit screen time to one hour per day !!!
