How does this fun-filled app benefit kids?

It’s all about the vocabulary, nonfiction vocabulary to be exact. Authentic, nonfiction reading is the most vocabulary-rich option for fostering the expansion of children's vocabularies. The breadth and depth of a child's vocabulary is directly correlated to that child's reading comprehension. In fact, the vocabulary of a child entering first grade predicts not only his/her reading ability at the end of first grade, but at the end of 11th grade (Juel and Deffes, 2004). And, nonfiction reading comprehension can have a significant impact on STEM-based testing and career success.
