BRAINtastic! - Design Philosophy

Children's needs differ

Children have different learning needs at different ages and stages of their lives. Younger children require simple instruction in basic foundational concepts. Older children need more complexity and advanced topics. Accordingly, school curricula are specifically levelled to provide children with a structured, sequenced learning experience. How can a parent or teacher feel confident that the educational software they invest in will provide just what their children need?

BRAINtastic! meets children where they are

BRAINtastic! is a unique learning system created to be both focused and flexible. The BRAINtastic! range is designed to meet a child exactly where their educational needs are and to grow with them. Created by skilled educators, BRAINtastic! uses leading-edge technology to present high-quality educational content. A parent or teacher is able to choose precisely the right title for each child and be assured that the educational content will be appropriate. Each BRAINtastic! product has been extensively researched and levelled in order to ensure that the content presented follows well-recognised educational principles and relevant curricula.

BRAINtastic! expands with the child

BRAINtastic! is a modular learning system which grows with the child. Each BRAINtastic! title contains a program (Central Control) which runs both the educational content and the Reward Games. When a parent purchases the next BRAINtastic! title as their child moves up in ability and knowledge, the new CD will automatically add to the BRAINtastic! folder on their computer and run in the same format with new content. This structure means that the system is able to continually expand with a child, as it will support the addition of both new games and new educational content.

BRAINtastic! continues to expand

The BRAINtastic! series currently covers Maths, Word Skills and Reading Success. There are 10 Reward Games and more in development. The BRAINtastic! family just keeps expanding!

What people are saying about EdAlive products

'I think Spelling Force is a great thing for people who are a bit behind in their spelling and want to catch up. A good activity for people who want to be a better speller. I found that by playing the games I learnt the harder words that normally I wouldn't have been able to spell.'
– Jaime, aged 12

'A fantastic idea! The children loved Baggin’ the Dragon and it fitted so well into our programme. We would love to be involved in the Community Software Plan again.'
– Joanne Dawes, Primary Teacher & IT Coordinator
