The system may also include a skills survey section to continually assess a child's reading and writing skills. The system may also include a pre-reading section that includes exercises selected from a group consisting of sequencing exercises and letter writing exercises using a keyboard. The system may also include a reading/writing skills section that includes reading/writing exercises viewable on a display apparatus to collectively teach all four of the language skills of phonology, semantics, syntax, and text.
