Task 5

The "Planet Boing" app supports learning across multiple domains for preschool-aged children between 3-6 years old. It aligns with the ADEC curriculum in areas like listening, responding to questions, exploring letters, and early math skills. The app engages children through educational activities with cute alien characters. It covers topics like phonics, letter recognition, rhyming, and vocabulary in a way that develops hand-eye coordination and navigating computer screens. Children can also work together on activities to support social and emotional development as well as knowledge of the world.

Reflection
K5 Learning for Reading. one of the things that originally made K5 Learning unique was its
founding members: parents. When the company was founded, virtually all literacy tools were
marketed exclusively to schools and sold on a "volume license basis," making it nearly
impossible for parents and homeschoolers to take advantage. The company’s original mission
was to democratize this process, bringing high-end, highly effective phonics and literacy tools to
early learners across the country, whether they were at home or at school. In the two decades that
have elapsed since the founding of K5 Learning, the company's reading and basic literacy
program has become one of the best options on the market for both schools and homes around
the world. In fact, the K5 Learning program in reading was recently named the best such
program in the country by a leading educational publication. The program is designed by a
coalition of parents, ESL teachers, and literacy experts, along with early childhood educators
who design interactive lessons compatible with Internet browsers and mobile devices. As a
result, it easily tops the rankings for the best at-home literacy and reading program available to
parents in the United States and around the world.
