How Learning Level
Influences the use of Educational Software

The appropriateness of specific types of educational software will depend on the particular learning level/grade of your learners.

Grades 1-3
The emphasis is on software that can enhance basic concept development

• Basic numeracy & literacy
• Word recognition, word sequence, pattern, shape and states, directionality and laterality (relative position), classification.

Very basic cognitive skills development is included in such software.

• Software will be engaging.
• Its use would often be used as a reward; the use of sound will enhance the chances of comprehension.

The use of repetition will be a feature in such software – the software has infinite patience with the learner and keeps prompting the learner to retry.
