E-Novation S.A.

Enhancing and ensuring young learners' literacy in EFL

Research indicates that phonological awareness can be taught and that students who increased their awareness of phonemes facilitated their subsequent reading acquisition (Lundberg et al, 1988). E-Blocks provides appealing and carefully designed activities that encourage children's curiosity about language and their experimentation with it, avoiding drill and rote memorization, keeping a sense of playfulness and using group settings that encourage cooperation among children and provide fun. Children actually build their way to become successful readers and learners in a relaxed game-like encouraging atmosphere, block by block.
