| A
unique aspect of Skills for Success |
Skills
For Success has been designed to be fun and engaging for every child
regardless of ability. Not only does it encourage learning across
the key subjects but it has also been proven to increase comprehension
as the only way to score is to read and answer questions correctly.
The questions are not timed out, permitting children to read through
the questions and answers carefully, or even discussing them with
friends or sourcing answers elsewhere, before attempting to score.
Questions can be answered in as much time as is needed, reducing the
chance of an incorrect answer being chosen due to a child feeling
unnecessarily pressured.
The overall feel is one of a game that gives confidence and encourages
concentration, but is also extremely fun and exciting. |
 |
A
unique aspect of Skills For Success is its way of
collating children’s results; the printable high score table
represents a football league table, this adds to the overall excitement
and encourages each child to strive for the top. The bonus feature
for teachers is that all of the scores for each pupil are held on
the database, showing the total number of questions answered, the
amount scored correct, the number of incorrect answers and the overall
score. |
 |
By
clicking on an individual pupils name the league table opens up further
by showing a list of the 10 topics available in each subject and gives
a breakdown of the question answered for each topic. This will allow
for on going assessments, as the league table
is printable and is able to highlight areas of strength and areas
of weakness. This is a key feature for parents as by printing the
league table after every session it can show the detailed development
and improvement of their child throughout a term. |

| The
Software |
| Many
teachers were looking for software that didn’t have the typical
"educational software” program feel and wanted a unique
and more involving theme. So, with this in mind, when you turn on
Skills For Success England you start at the entrance to the stadium,
giving boys and girls the feeling of being involved immediately with
the football team. The game is structured in such a way that it gives
children a feeling of excitement, involvement and wanting to answer
more questions as they progress through the game. To reiterate, the
games develop on a progressive level with the main threads running
throughout the software being INVOLVEMENT, ENCOURAGEMENT and EXCITEMENT. |
