What is Superminds?
SUPERMINDS is an innovative method for teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) and introducing children to Language Acquisition where :
Letters, (phonics) form WORDS;
Words, form SENTENCES;
Sentences, form PARAGRAPHS and
Paragraphs form TEXTS.
Based on the well-known premise that children learn by doing, SUPERMINDS provides unlimited hands-on interaction for children between the ages of 3-5 and 6-8.
How it works:
In Groups: Children work together in groups sitting at a table with the SUPERMINDS Panel (Blocks and Bricks) connected to a Language Lab. Responding to stimuli and questions presented on the computer screen, students place the Blocks/Bricks on the SUPERMINDS touch-sensitive panel. Exciting pictures, music, animation and games stimulate cooperative interaction and make learning a concrete social experience under the supervision of experienced and trained teachers/instructors.
Individually: Children work individually under the supervision and guidance of the teacher following carefully prepared syllabi and lesson plans.
Children work with IPads, Blocks, Talking Pens and video recorders, LEGO, Bricks, Board Games and Puzzles to reinforce and accommodate the structures, lexis, values, skills and mood learned during the lesson.
