How does ABC Maestro work?

ABC Maestro software offers individualized settings that can be customized for each child, depending on their needs. Beginning with easier activities, the exercises are structured to lead up gradually to more difficult ones. In this way the software "grows" with the child. ABC Maestro gives the child precise instructions of where the key to be pressed is and when to press it. It also provides, after each answer, adequate feedback that is an indispensable part of the learning process.

Why do both children and teachers love ABC Maestro?

ABC Maestro allows children to learn "step-by- step" in a specially designed interface full of fun exercises and cheerful colors - which greatly influences the motivation.

Many kids learn faster when the learning process is digitalized. We have seen that for many children Clevy keyboard is becoming the only way of literacy learning and participating in the curriculum. However, typing letters on a dull screen is often not encouraging enough. That is why children often tend to give up and lose motivation easily. This is a challenge both for children and teachers.

"Experiences with working with ABC Maestro programme are very positive and have enriched the work we do with our students. Visual support of the programme facilitates understanding, auditive feedback allows self-control of possible mistakes, and ‘’step-by-step’’ learning gives the little learners motivation to move to the higher levels of independence. It is also significant to say that the ABC Maestro programme respects the child’s need to learn through play."

Javorka Milkovic, SEN teacher

"With ABC Maestro software, my students are learning the alphabet, they communicate better and are happy because they have been given an opportunity to learn this way. Throughout using the application they have even improved their graphomotor skills and now accept working with paper and pencil more easily."

How does ABC Maestro help children and teachers?

Teaching children with special educational needs literacy skills can be very slow, difficult, and hard, and it is ABC Maestro that offers children faster learning through play, without stress. It is therefore a motivating factor by itself.

The ABC Maestro’s importance in education of children is critical because it reduces time of learning of the grapheme’s/letters keyboard positions and prevents the so-called "fishing" where a child searches the keyboard for a particular letter.

Whom is ABC Maestro intended to?

It is primarily intended for students with special educational needs who are learning to write, type, and read, but can be an excellent tool when working with all children who are just getting to know letters, words, and numbers. It is an excellent solution for children with attention and concentration problems, fine motor skills, ocular coordination, and visual perception problems, children with reduced cognitive abilities or children with specific learning disabilities.
