Work with
Skillmatics
Working with Skillmatics has been extremely fun. I got a chance to work in two Product Domains while working with Skillmatics. I got to design a lot of products from the top in the Subscription team whereas I was also part of designing a few retail products which come under the Games Domain.

4 Key learnings
domains
Skillmatics Learning Kits have been designed to focus on four learning domains that are key to your child’s early development: Language & Literacy, World Knowledge, Mathematics & Numeracy, and Social-Emotional Knowledge. As your child grows, the Kits will highlight
progressive aspects of each domain.

Turn & Learn
(Letters & Phonics)
1
Turn & Learn is designed to help children build and strengthen Letter-Sound Recognition. This can be best understood as the process by which children associate letters with their respective phonetic sounds, which guides them to eventually put the
letter sounds together and read unfamiliar words, by themselves.

Picture Palette is designed to help your child understand that an image is composed of multiple colors, and to recognize and identify these colors.
Color Recognition and Visual Discrimination can be understood as the faculty by which children recognize the different colors and identify their names. It is a key cognitive developmental step for children, as it plays an important role in object recognition and builds descriptive language skills needed for effective communication.

Deep Dive
with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
Deep Dive with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! focuses on building Number Recognition and Counting skills.
Number Recognition is the ability to visually recognize the different numbers, name them, and understand what ‘quantity’ they stand for. Counting is a fundamental skill in a child’s early understanding of quantities and provides the basis for the development of number and arithmetic concepts and skills. While counting objects, your child has to coordinate multiple, distinct skills, reciting the number-word sequence while simultaneously keeping one-to-one correspondence between the objects being counted and the number words assigned to the objects.

Lucky Letters
Lucky Letters is designed to strengthen a child’s letter-sound recognition, and encourage them to make connections between an object’s beginning sound and its corresponding
letter. Letter-sound correspondence is the identification of phonemes. It is one of the fundamental building blocks of a child’s ability to read words, and eventually phrases.
Turn & Learn is designed to help your child build on their knowledge of the Places around them
and learn appropriate vocabulary related to each of the different places.
At this stage, your child may be familiar with the things they see around their home. They must move up the Learning Curve by beginning to build vocabulary associated with places
outside of their homes. Learning about places around town helps children integrate more
easily into their community and understand how different ecosystems work, within themselves and with each other.

Time for Tangrams is designed to introduce children to geometrical concepts and improve problem solving and visuospatial skills.
At this stage, your child may be familiar with basic shapes, and recognizing them in their everyday environment. This product is the perfect learning tool to further your child’s STEM and spatial-awareness skills. Tangrams are two-dimensional puzzles which are to be solved by the reorientation of smaller shapes to build the larger, target shape.

Would You Choose
“Would You Choose” is designed to help your child introspect, and better understand themselves, including their likes, dislikes, hopes and aspirations. It focuses on building on your child’s
self-awareness and self-realization, which are extremely important in helping them reach their productive potential and understand their own personality. Learning Social and Communication skills like this is one of the major developmental tasks in early childhood that needs to be cultivated and consistently nurtured. “Would You Choose” is a multiplayer game that helps players learn about themselves
and one another, as well as understand that everybody has
different preferences. It includes a range of “Would you Choose” questions based on 4 categories - ‘Places’, ‘Food’, ‘Silly’ and ‘Me’.

Sight In Space
Through conversations and being read to from an early age, children develop pre-literacy skills, including individual sound, letter and word recognition.
Sights In Space strengthens your child’s recognition of essential sight words, enabling them to read faster, more fluently, and
gain confidence in their literacy skills, through engaging and
exciting gameplay. It is also designed to enhance your
child’s Mathematics and Numeracy skills as it builds on
concepts of Counting, One-to-One Correspondence,
Numeral Recognition and the Number Sequence.
