INTRODUCTION TO ALLP
-
- The Articulation Language and Literacy program ALLP is a research-based program aimed at developing lexical and literacy skills, through a hierarchy of graded activities within.
- ALLP particularly stimulates the child’s auditory and visual memory and sequencing skills which form the bases for language development, and metalinguistics.
- All activities within EDULEARN Tools must be performed by an adult such as a speech-language therapist, educationist, a parent or a caregiver, along with a single child or a group of 2-4 children. The child may be allowed to engage by pressing the enter key or the spacebar to change the pictures.
“And Allah brought you forth from the wombs (of) your mothers, not knowing anything, and made for you the hearing and the sight and the hearts so that you may give thanks.”
– Al Quran : Surah Nahl Ayat 78

It highly depends on the learning capability of your child. One answer doesn't fit all, but usually, it takes 3 months to complete all activities in a program.
If your child has difficulty in learning a level then move to a previous (easier) level, so that your child can have more practice on easier levels before progressing further.
