Our educational activity pages teach and entertain. Teachers use Kid Scoop in schools to promote standards-based learning. Parents use the Kid Scoop materials to foster academic success, a joy of learning and family discussions.Over 25 years of experience in the field has taught us that children learn when they are engaged in the subject. Our colorful puzzles and activities draw children into the page. This stimulates the child's interest and they then read the text. Every section they read and complete furthers their mastery of an academic skill. When parents show an interest and read the page with their child, they establish the value of this educational tool.
