Play with a purpose
Play is a strategy for learning at any age. It gives kids space to use their imaginations, improvise, inquire, think outside the box, and learn in meaningful ways. Our products are designed to fit in and leverage curricular content and goals. See our Teacher Resources for more information.
Skills development
Designed for students aged 6 to 14, our interactive novels exercise kids’ core competencies in Cognitive Development, Critical Thinking, and Literacy Skills. The platform helps develop creative, capable, and innovative minds.
Supportive of different learning styles
Because everyone has different preferences for learning, the interactive experiences support a variety of learning styles, including visual, auditory, and tactile.
Inclusive fun,
stealth education
The platform offers a unique and educational interactive storytelling experience for students who often feel like they’re playing a game when they’re actually reading a 30,000-word book! But don’t tell them that!
Encourages reading
The Living Novel has been praised as an incredible tool to engage reluctant readers — kids who might not otherwise pick up a book.
