Why Pen-Pal?

Substantial studies have been done and have proven that multimodal learning, as compared to unimodal learn, allows one to learn more effectively.

From a young age, children are exposed to beautifully illustrated books and encouraged to explore the pictures. With companionship of an adult who reads to the child, the child is further intrigued and starts to ask questions.

With Pen-pal, the child is able to engage on such exploration even without the supervision of an adult. Together, visual and verbal learning can result in a enhanced basic and higher-order learning.
