As Singapore turns towards home-based learning as a result of a spike of COVID-19 cases, parents have to look for sources of learning to not only educate their children, but also to keep them entertained. Home-based learning has brought forth a slew of new challenges, and with it a chance for new technologies to come up from the market.

Reading pens have emerged recently as a handy tool to read to children in the absence of fluent speakers of a language. This way, reading pens will expose children to native pronunciation of text. As the exclusive distributor for Zhenyu Rich, SCPH is selling the i-Pen, an electronic reading pen, along with compatible titles on which the i-Pen can be used. The i-Pen is a self-reading pen, best used as a teaching tool for children in preschool. This tool allows for children to remain engaged in learning due to its attractive design while keeping them interested in the wide multitude of topics covered in the complementary titles.

The i-Pen is a useful tool for language learning. Catering to children from Nursery to Kindergarten, the i-Pen provides narration in both English and Mandarin, allowing children to be exposed to accurate pronunciation from a young age. With high-quality speakers and professionally recorded audio, children will be exposed to native pronunciation of the two languages at a young age, enabling them to listen and improve their own pronunciation in both English and Mandarin.

Bundled together with the i-Pen are books covering a wide variety of topics, such as English, Mandarin, Hanyu Pinyin, nursery rhymes, encyclopaedias, and bedtime stories. The i-Pen is perfect for busy parents, who may not have the time or energy to read to their children while busy working from home. Parents can still have peace of mind knowing that their children will be honing their language skills using top-of-the-line technology.
