- Learning System for Parents
By taking a look at your student's syllabus or working closely with their
teacher you can understand which subjects could be supplemented by the
Learning System. This is why parental participation is not only encouraged
but highly recommended. It is also recommended that you understand
which areas of their homework can be supplemented by noting which subjects
are being taught in their class. The product is not intended to replace
school curriculum but rather expand on it and act as an accessory tool to
building your child’s knowledge. Using the Learning System software
has been shown to not only improve grades but to also encourage independent
study habits. Narration, video and audio in all subjects will adapt to any
sort of learning style and actually complements learning disabilities by
providing those three options. Use Audio Books if your student learns best
through listening. Watch video presentations if your student learns best by
example or read through a titles chapter’s if your student learns best
through reading.
