Letters alive utilizes 3D technology to animate 26 animals, each representing a letter. The animals jump to life and interact with students once a letter card is held under a special camera connected to a PC or Mac. The curriculum teaches letter naming and sound, spelling and sentence building and comprehension.
Alive Studios, based in Dacula, GA, provides reading and math progress assessments digitally, which is designed to make it easy for instructors like Smedley-Warren to monitor their students’ progress.
Each Letters alive kit costs $795. If a district buys eight copies or more, Alive Studios will provide free on-site professional development and a one-year subscription to online student assessments...
Letters alive is used in over 2,500 classrooms nationwide and worldwide, including Australia, the United Kingdom, China, Japan, Turkey and India, Ricketson said.
