The Tipi Tom Application Launched to Celebrate Language Diversity with the Start of Hispanic Heritage Month
Tipi Tom™ features a cast of Latino characters helping preschoolers learn their letters, colors, numbers and shapes in both languages for iOS& Android users
New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 09/16/2015 --Tipi Tom™ gives kids two tracks to learn two languages at the same time through an animated video and five interactive activities in both English and Spanish. Through Tipi Tom™ children will learn pre-literacy skills and develop their fine motor skills in a fun and engaging way. Science has proven that learning two languages can improve cognitive skills, executive order and meta-linguistic skills. For English Language Learners, it's important these children not only learn English, but also continue to build upon their native tongue, as this will only enhance their ability to learn English. Therefore, fusing a dual language learning approach into the application was critical since this pedagogy has been proven to cultivate bilingualism.
The creator of Tipi Tom™ is Deborah Castillero, a passionate Latina entrepreneur who is joined by a world-class team including master bilingual instructor, Zulmaris Diaz, PhD, gaming developers, Happy Dog Games (Costa Rica), designers, Two Animators! LLP, artist/musician, Amelia Robinson of Mil's Trills.Paz Salgado, Chilean voice0ver talent and Chilean script essayist, Andrea Cordones. Castillero shares, "This team came together across borders to make the best MVP for our users because everyone is very passionate about empowering kids and closing the achievement gap among English language learners."
