Waterford Institute, a global not-for-profit research organization focused on education, will now provide its award-winning digital books and music videos through Global Grid for Learning.

The books and videos provided by the Waterford Institute are intended for children ages 4-7. The digital books are designed to give students experience with rich natural text in order to develop comprehension and vocabulary. The videos incorporate engaging music and animation to introduce young learners to reading, math and science concepts.

Waterford Institute, headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, created the first educational videodisk and continues to be at the cutting edge of technology-delivered education programs.

“We’re delighted to be a part of GGfL” said Hailey Kuhn, Senior Vice President for Business Development at Waterford Institute. “The partnership is directly in line with our mission to provide every child with the finest education through our educational programs and software, and GGfL is another way for us to reach an even wider audience of teachers and students for this purpose.”
