Accessible Tools for Health, Safety, and Education
At Written Word Publications, LLC we provide those in the business of health, safety and education with accessible tools for children that make a difference in health and safety outcomes, in addition to getting children excited about becoming better readers.
We accomplish this through the publication of short, colorful books that rhyme and that provide immediately useable information that children easily adopt. Our data clearly indicates the short-term gains in safety habits, as well as in their understanding about nutrition and the importance of drinking water. We also know that healthy habits from an early age make positive long-term outcomes likely
Why do these books work?
As adults, we forget how powerfully children are motivated by competence.
We don’t have to motivate children to learn to walk or to talk. They want to become competent in the world in which they find themselves. When we provide information and tools directly to children in the very best ways that children learn, not only do they incorporate those lessons themselves, but they share those lessons with family and peers.
For children, competence is its own reward!
Can you remember a time, as a child, when you gained a skill with which you had struggled? Was it riding a bike, swimming, hitting a baseball, or when you were able to read a book, write a note or play a game?
That sense of competence propels us forward into mastering new skills and helping children to better understand and cope with the challenging world into which they were born. As adults, it is our responsibility to provide them with the tools they need to be safe, healthy and capable in life.
Outcomes in health, safety and literacy can be measured clearly in the quality of day-to-day life. They also can be measured in bottom line costs for automobile injuries and deaths, for obesity, diabetes, heart disease. Illiteracy rates in the United States are estimated to cause a loss of $2.2 billion per year in our economy.
