“I think what makes Alice so special is the strong narrative that allows for deep reading, conversations that move into criticalreading, prediction, a shared experience between readers who are anticipating what might happen next and then designing and writing their own 'next' episode.
Dr. Gloria Latham, School of Education, RMIT Australia

“Our vision is that children will grow up with Alice, from class to class, from year to year. Attaching curriculum learning experiences to a well-loved story will delight classrooms and online learners as they delight audiences for books, movies or computer games. Being tuned in to the story will afford teachers opportunities to address their objectives more quickly and in a way that has the student’s full attention.”
Ian Harper, creator and owner of The Bradfield Company
