“It is deeply satisfying to get through the stringent judging process and win this interesting award,” said Nish Parikh, the chief architect of ColorsKit. “Spelling with its rules and exceptions forms the basis of reading comprehension. It is for teachers and parents to make sure children with or without special needs become better in this area through practice. Our apps offer a measurable way to develop language proficiency, numerical ability and social skills. As an added benefit, the interactive format helps build motor skills and attention span.”
