An online programme as offered by Unik is a learning programme that is delivered or presented online, that is, via the Internet. Unik’s online programmes are self-learning programmes, meaning, those participating in these programmes learn by themselves at their own pace. Nevertheless, parents of young learners of these programmes are encouraged to be facilitators by being involved in their children’s online learning.
Who can benefit from the online programmes?Currently, Unik offers online programmes on literacy and language skills. Thus, those seeking to improve their literacy and language skills can benefit from these online programmes. Skills covered range from learning to read, to understanding grammar and comprehension, to communicating effectively in conversational English. Each programme is designed to be level-appropriate for the target learners, whether they be pre-schoolers or adults.
Who are the developers of Unik’s online programmes?Unik’s online programmes are developed by an experienced team of educators, teachers, educational writers, animators, programmers and web developers.
What key literacy areas are covered by Unik’s online programmes?Unik’s online programmes cover literacy and language skills. The basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing are emphasized. Depending on the programme considered, grammar, vocabulary development, and comprehension are also covered. Activities are interactive, fun and engaging, which promote students' willingness to learn while facilitating their literacy development.
Specific programmes are:
In addition, we provide teaching aids that are free of charge:
Unik understands that the early childhood years (from birth to 5 years) are the time of most rapid cognitive development. By using a learner-centred, multisensory approach to teaching, Unik capitalizes on the child’s developing visual, auditory and kinesthetic faculties to maximize learning. Suitable programme for preschoolers is Phonics Fun (learning to read using phonics) and Decodable Books.
My child is six years old. Which programmes are suitable for her?If your child has not yet learnt (or is just beginning to learn) to read, she can start with Phonics Fun. Otherwise, she can start with Easy English (available in DVD-ROM pack only). There are 35 lessons in Easy English and each lesson is approximately 5 minutes long. The four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing are emphasized. English is presented in the context of everyday usage. Your child will be inductively exposed to the rules of English grammar, through practice in conversational structures, and without grammatical terms that can confuse her. Such adaptivity keeps her brain engaged, and maintains a success rate that is both gratifying and challenging.
My child is struggling to read. Which programme can help her?Phonics Fun can help develop your child’s reading skills.
Some children don’t enjoy reading because of early failures, while other children struggle to read because they can’t remember the sound of words. Reading is not a skill we learn naturally. It involves deciphering a man-made written code. It is a complex higher order cognitive function that requires simultaneous working of multiple skills. Phonics Fun teaches reading in a systematic way that overcomes the barriers children face when learning to read. Click here to know more about Phonics Fun.
Learning with a computer is a great way for children to develop reading skills. Children with reading difficulties, especially, need to learn slowly, and they may want each lesson to be repeated several times. The computer is admirably suited for that: children can learn at a pace they are comfortable with, and lessons and practices can be repeated indefinitely until they catch up. With a computer, practice questions can be given randomly, so as to reduce the chance of memorizing the answers.
The computer is also non-judgmental: it will not put the learner to shame for giving wrong answers, and no classmates are present to witness this embarrassment. This is very effective in removing feelings of humiliation and indignity that the learner might otherwise feel if this happens in the classroom.
Are there activity books to go with the online programme?No. Unik’s online programmes have interactive online activities rather than activity books. The intent is the same, though. However, interactivity adds a new dimension to the learning experience that books cannot, and this can be more rewarding and motivating.
Do I need to guide my child in every lesson she learns?The good thing about multimedia learning is that it provides a learning environment that is learner-centred, multisensory and self-paced, and can be adapted to different learning styles. However, you need to guide your child for the first few lessons to ensure that she knows her way around and understands what she needs to do. Of course, timely guidance is also important to improve child-parent relationship.
