In this 'Testimonials' page, check out what our customers say about our unique child learning toy - KeepLearning! Puzzle - Why? and why you should order one now! "Hi Magan, I've started using the puzzle in therapy. It's great fun! The pictures are lovely.. good for getting the kids talking. Some themes are quite alien to my students, eg knights, winter... so it's also good for teaching vocabulary! Thanks a lot :)" - Elizabeth T. Speech Therapist in local special school. This is very good for kids to learn sentence structure as the child puts the jigsaw puzzle together. It helps them to actually learn and visualize the logical sequence of the sentence structure by doing it hands-on. This would not be possible using CD-ROM. The colours on the jigsaw puzzle are very striking and all the kids in the family like it very much. The large size and number of puzzle pieces is just nice and manageable for the children. Please let us know when more jigsaw puzzles of this series is out, we will definitely be interested. - May L., Nicole's aunt and Nicole's grandmother. This jigsaw puzzle is very colourful, it captures and holds my child's attention. It is much easier for him to learn how to answer questions. He really likes to play with it. It is much better to use the puzzle, rather than just talking and teaching him verbally. - Mr. Goh, Father of Y.K. Goh. As a parent of an inquisitive and active child, I am always looking out for educational materials which enrich her mind and engage her attention. 'Keep Learning Puzzle' fits both criteria perfectly. Most 'store bought puzzles' are of the 'join the sentences' variety with no particular story line or theme. Sequencing cards prompt a child to arrange and describe the chain of events but these cards are merely pictorial, with no printed words to reinforce verbal skills. What sets Keep Learning Puzzle apart from other materials is that it integrates literacy and verbal skills holistically. My child learns how to express herself verbally, sequentially, logically whilst honing her reading skills. Each segment of the puzzle has a theme; a mini story that comes alive with lively and quirky characters in vivid graphics. Keep Learning Puzzle's approach is child-centric; learning comes about while playing with the puzzle. It taps into a child's psyche ? that sense of wonder and imagination unique to children. It fosters creativity, encouraging my child to weave parallel story lines within a theme. My child gains confidence in her ability to express herself fluently. The colourful graphics and large print of the text help the child to read clearly and comfortably. The puzzle pieces are made of durable materials that do not become warped. The edges of the pieces do not get dog-eared even after frequent use so the pieces always fit into place neatly. You decide the level and pace of your child's progress. Pre-schoolers will acquire early literacy skills like phonics and sequencing. Emergent or early readers will be thrilled to read and follow the stories. An older child might be introduced to aspects of grammar like nouns: Floun Floun the Clown and verbs like 'builds' a zoo, 'roasts' the nuts... For my family, KLP gives new meaning to Circle Time. Family members take turns to act out a role according to which character ends up facing the people around a dining table. Here's how: (1) Place the characters of the puzzle on a Lazy Susan on a dining table. (You can improvise with a Frisbee or any circular disc that can spin) Spin once until each person faces a character. (2) Get each person to introduce him/herself as the character he/she is playing. E.g.: I am Bernie. (3) Get the person to expand on his/her character like his occupation, work place. E.g. : I'm a referee. I work at the stadium, sports complex, Olympics! .. etc (4) Proceed to second inner ring of the puzzle that involves verbs. Think of other verbs associated with the character's activity /occupation. (5) Spin again to assign the subject of the verb. For example, 'hands out music instruments to __________ '. Change the subject to other characters for humorous outcomes. The possibilities of this game are limited only by your imagination and resourcefulness! Make 'Keep Learning Puzzle' part of your collection of games. 'Keep Learning Puzzle' is a fusion of fun and education. It fosters bonding with your children even as they play and learn. A family's cathexis for their children powers their self esteem. My daughter has bloomed in confidence and eloquence after playing and learning with the puzzle. 'Keep Learning Puzzle' nurtures enquiring minds and confidence. I recommend every family to own one. It is an asset in every child's learning kit. - Jun, mother of I. Sarah O. The puzzle is very good. Samuel likes it so much! I told my friends this is a great product for their children.

I would like to know if your Keep Learning Jigsaw Puzzle can be of any use for a two-year-old kid. I like the concept very much but I don't know if it could help my child. We would like him to learn English from a very young age. A. It is our pleasure to share with you our product, the linguistic and learning considerations behind the product concept and our results using it with children. Here are some of the factors for your consideration: One essential criterion is whether the child can relate to pictures, understands what pictures mean, talks about pictures, and enjoys the process. Because Keep Learning Puzzle is a jigsaw puzzle, the child would need some fine motor skills in order to enjoy the hands-on process of learning. Our jigsaw puzzle is of highest quality Western Europe material which is thicker, sturdier and therefore easier to manipulate. It is comparable to flat wooden puzzles that come without a grip knob. We have had experience with children of 3 years or younger who fulfil the above two criteria and are able to play and learn English words and sentences using our Keep Learning Puzzle. Some other relevant considerations include overall language skills and vocabulary. Our sentences and pictures cover a variety of themes such as circus, family, school, sports etc. The more children know about such experiences (through real life, books, the media etc), the more they will understand the sentences (and the jokes). We have designed the detailed illustrations to aid the child in this. Two main considerations our product was 'born' are: 1. to fill the gap in the market for an intelligent product to bridge the gap from words to sentences. 2. to help the learner develop an important foundation in sentence structure for language learning. Our product is therefore designed to be highly adaptable to individual ability, and to 'grow with the child'. You may find yourself using just some pieces of the puzzle with your child at the beginning, and then using more and more pieces, with more and more variety of learning activities and games as he grows.     Enter your search terms Submit search form Web www.leomagan.com Home | Speech Therapy Testimonials | Speech Therapy Information | Speech Therapy FAQ & Glossary | Products | Product Benefits & Fun Activities | Product Testimonials & FAQ | View Cart | About us | Jobs | Links | Site Map | Privacy, Shipping & Terms 20 Kramat Lane, #04-09 United House, Singapore 228773 (Orchard Road area, near Dhoby Ghaut MRT).
