RE: Learning Literacy through Play - An Academic Perspective
Getting kids actively engaged in their learning is so important. You can "teach" them things all you want and they may remember them but until they get the chance to experience it they may not get the full understanding. Hands-on engagement leads to deeper understanding and stronger retention of concepts. And to be honest, it's just plain fun to turn learning into play!
I wish more would understand. It's not that the drills & work sheets don't work, it's about best practice. And yes, it is quite fun!
