Skills For Success - Children's Education Software |
Benefits
for Kids
  
At
Skills For Success we have spent the last two
years working with teachers, parents and children
to create our innovative format. Whilst compiling our research
we uncovered two overwhelming demands: from teachers, for a
product that engages pupils to a
point where they have so much fun that they forget that they
are learning; and from children, wanting
software that would help them by making homework and revision
both easier and more enjoyable. As a result, we have created
and structured our products in such a way that it is IMPOSSIBLE
not to learn while playing, thereby improving
the children’s learning ability; and, as important as
all of the above, it will be priced so as to be affordable for
every school in the country.

| 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. |

| 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 you start at the entrance
to the football stadium, enter the changing rooms and design
your own kit, giving boys and girls the feeling of
being involved immediately. 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. |

| As
a child answers more questions correctly, bonus games are unlocked
both in the Manager’s Office and the Changing Room. ‘Keepy
Uppy’, a fun and exciting reward which also tests
the child’s hand-to-eye coordination skills, by keeping
a football bouncing in the air with the mouse. ‘Pairs’
is a memory game with cards placed face down on the table, testing
the child’s ability to memorise pictures and positions.
‘Darts’ is a fun mental maths game,
‘Wordsearch’ covers spelling and
‘Brick Ball’ covers angles and
co-ordination: all of these are highly educational, but offer
strong rewards and, also freely available in the Manager’s
Office, is a selection of printable colouring pictures. These
were added as a great way for teachers in classrooms (or other
public areas where the software might be used) to provide “offline”
entertainment and interest for children waiting to use the software. |
