Play to learn I have been awed by the success of online maths program Mathletics. My daughter can’t stop playing and, unlike other electronic games, she’s learning heaps. The Intrepica online literacy program has the same effect. It is engaging, fun and addictive, but most importantly, your child learns while they play the 10,000 activities. As they succeed, they earn currency that lets them purchase items in the shop. Subscriptions for home use start at $19 a month. Visit: www.intrepica.com.au
