PRAYATNA

TEACHING AIDS

In order to enhance academic skills of reading, spelling or numeracy in children, Prayatna has developed a number of teaching aids that promote fluency and accuracy in these areas. The aids are based on research findings in educational and developmental psychology. The sequence and the level at which the aids are introduced depend on the child's cognitive profiles. Below is a list of some of the areas for which we have developed teaching aids at different developmental levels.
