Early Years Software

The Early Years range of software is used by primary schools for children aged 4 to 11 years. The software features “Smudge”, the friendly spaniel who can walk, bark and tumble his way through activities. The range includes titles covering numeracy, literacy, including punctuation, science and geography, which is also suitable for use in pre-school and nursery schools. The software is suitable for use with interactive whiteboards and has been accredited with "Approved for SMART Board" status.

The software is easy to use, with clear and uncluttered screens. Each title contains options to change the software to suit a range of different ages and abilities, and there is a reporting section to allow teachers to monitor progress.

Each package is supported by instructions: on how to install the software; hardware requirements; how to use each activity; and an explanation of how the Reporting System operates. A number of the packages have additional support material suggesting activities that can be performed away from the computer.
