The Literacy Center Education Network is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization with a mission to deliver free, professionally-designed, education material to preschool-age children. Utilizing the power of the Internet, we distribute education material directly to children in their homes, libraries, and schools.
In 2009, the LiteracyCenter.Net had more than 30 million page views from children in 220 countries.
Going Green
Having a centralized repository for education material is not only the most cost-effective solution, it is also better for the planet. We have discovered that printing books in one country, and then flying them around the globe for use in other countries, burns through natural resources. We believe there must be a better way.
It is thier vision that every young child will have free and equal access to culturally appropriate education material. Their goal is to see the world through the eyes of the children we serve and to build educational games, simulations, and visualizations that are not only fun but also effective. Ultimately, they dream of a world where every child is able to read.
One hundred years ago, children learned to read with one book. Today, they are exposed to a dizzying array of objects, toys, and games that purport to be educational. The only thing these products have in common is that they are confusing. They have made simple task of learning more difficult for children.
At the LiteracyCenter.Net, they believe that learning to read in a first language should be as natural as learning to speak. All research at the Literacy Center begins with parents and teachers because no one knows better what children need than those who love them and teach them.
The usability experts collect feedback and work with our design team in the implementation of every online lesson. The system offers alphabets, numbers, and words in clear and concise formats. We limit the learning environment so children can clearly see what it is that they are expected to learn. Our lessons allow children to have fun, concentrate, and remember.
They suggest that parents and teachers teach first language skills, first. Then, using precisely the same method, introduce a second or other language. This unique methodology helps children learn second or other languages even as they are learning to read.
