As a resource for educational and interactive content, Lingokids has seen a 500% user increase since the beginning of the pandemic
NEW YORK, NY, January 25th, 2021 – It comes as no surprise that in the last year edtech has become an integral part of both parents’ and children’s daily lives. By encouraging self-direction to a child, allowing them to correct mistakes, and making each moment a learning moment, educational apps like Lingokids have left a mark in what is expected to be a continued digital learning world.
Kate Regan, Director of Curriculum at Lingokids, shares that “supplemental apps have received a lot more attention since the beginning of the pandemic. One good result of this is that more parents have become aware that these apps exist. There are plenty of resources to browse educational app reviews and find the one that best suits their needs. The result is that there is no shortage of “positive screen time” options, beyond the usual entertainment (which of course, will always have its place).”
With a 500% user increase since the beginning of the pandemic, Lingokids invites children to playlearn with interactive games and songs, while offering parents a resource that engages their children with highly appealing educational content. With almost 120 million views on Youtube, its “ABC Chant” was one of 2020’s biggest hits. Additionally, it’s #PositiveParenting Webisode Series that was created to empower kids by providing parents and caregivers with community resources and tips on how to continue to raise amazing humans during these trying times, saw more than 250,000 tune-ins.
“Apps that are thoughtfully developed, with a foundation based on sound learning principles and practices, can provide a personalized and targeted learning experience. Lingokids helps sustain language and vocabulary development during any circumstances, especially when school is disrupted or suspended. Through the Lingokids playlearning method, children reinforce skills like problem-solving, concentration, and basic skills development,” shares Suzanne Barchers, EdD, Lingokids Board of Educators.
