Detailed Description

Alphabet learning is the means to an end that few teachers or parents question. Several techniques and methods to learn the language and script have been extensively developed. The material developed is dull and eliminates "experience." Children have to learn to read and write the language, but the process is narrow and monotonous, and the love for learning is never induced. Looking, observing, and carefully observing never seem to be an important part of learning or an aspect of developing the learning material. We know that if a learning material can overcome the problem of attention span and engage a child, then most of the problems of learning can be tackled. I am interested in exploring how a material can encompass the enjoyment and discoveries that looking and experiencing can bring.
