Advanced Educational Technology Solutions
The literacy program is unique, using interactive learning experiences to maintain children’s engagement. It takes a scaffolding approach whereby students are taught from the ground up, their knowledge is building upon what they already know to achieve skill mastery. Known as the Gradual Release of Responsibility Framework it identifies how the child will learn based on the teacher’s input. Throughout the unit of work, the responsibility for understanding the knowledge moves from the educator to the child.
“KneoWorld supports and intentionally provides a learning environment that allows students to move back and forth between the framework’s levels of support as they practice and master the skills and concepts within the lesson.” KneoWorld Unit 1: Concepts of Print and Print Awareness – Teacher’s Guide, page 3.
