EduPeg - Empowered teachers create empowered learners

A child may be the right age to start school, but may not yet be ready for school. To be truly ready for school, a child must have developed various perceptual abilities. The attractive and fun activities contained in Edupeg's workbooks are an excellent way to stimulate your child and to develop school readiness.

By doing Edupeg activities, children learn to recognize, evaluate and cope with problems. Edupeg activities also help to develop concentration, perseverance, memory, self-confidence and self-esteem.

Edupeg is fun and challenging, but not threatening. The activities encourage a positive attitude towards learning and towards mathematics and literacy in particular.

..:: Visual perception ::..
Visual perception is the ability of the brain to make sense of the environment through the eyes. Obviously, visual perception plays a very important role in all classroom activities.

Children with accurate visual perception will find it much easier to read, write and do mathematics. Children with poor visual perception, on the other hand, will struggle with these activities and will lose confidence as a result.

Children should be seen as thinkers, not empty vessels which need to be filled with knowledge. They are indeed active participants in the construction of their own knowledge. It is during these early years, when the first networks of knowledge based on experience are formed, that the foundations for all later learning are laid.

The environments of home and school enhance and support each other in learning. They provide the context in which learning takes place and the opportunity for learning to be effective. These environments obviously influence the child's growth and development, and are the foundation for all learning situations. Extensive studies by Piaget conclude that knowledge is created actively and is not received passively. It is thus vital to create and provide an exciting and stimulating learning environment.

The more advanced Edupeg workbooks build on the knowledge and skills developed in the elementary workbooks. Interaction with the activities in these books will result in increased mathematical awareness and proficiency, as well as improved literacy.
