You know that moment when children lean in...
when they're fully engaged?
That's what we set out to create.
This isn't just another program or more content.
It's a learning experience that changes how children feel during instruction.
Kids see it, hear it, move with it, and interact with it.
This activates multiple pathways in the brain so that learning actually sticks.
When students are truly engaged through play, movement, and joy, everything shifts. Their brains light up in all the right ways.
Teachers tell us they see a noticeable shift within minutes - increased participation, stronger language use, and growing student confidence.
Alive Studios uses a patented augmented reality (AR) approach to deliver instruction in a way no other early learning program does - combining research-based literacy and math instruction with highly engaging, brain-based learning experiences.

Alive Studios supports the Science of Reading by providing an explicit, systematic framework across the five pillars of literacy, utilizing interactive 3D experiences and animal themes to reinforce phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Their lesson plans and activities, such as Zoo Keeper ABC Boot Camp and Animal a Week, utilize multisensory learning and connected decodable texts to help students practice decoding and encoding in meaningful contexts while following a cumulative, spiraled review of literacy skills.
Alive Studios offers supplemental programs that are specifically developed to complement any core curriculum. These programs are designed to be effective and easy for teachers to use while providing evidence-based instruction that feels like play.
Alive Studios' supplemental literacy and math programs are designed for and aligned to Pre-K and Kindergarten standards. Due to the flexibility of the lesson plans and the engagement factor of the 3D zoo-themed experience, the programs are also very effective for English Language Learners, 1st-2nd grade supplemental intervention, and PK-12 Special Education students.
Alive Studios' solutions improve student engagement and significantly boost attention spans by creating multi-sensory learning experiences with 3D zoo animals as the stars of the instruction. Our evidence-based programs also enhance the classroom environment by streamlining classroom management and improving student behavior through joyful, hands-on, activities.
Independent research and case studies demonstrate that Alive Studios' programs deliver significant, measurable gains in foundational literacy, including a 112% increase in letter sound fluency and a 48% increase in letter naming fluency, representing up to a 4x gain over non-users. These results are consistently mirrored across various classrooms, such as a Pre-K study showing a 74 percentage-point gain in letter sound recognition and a Kindergarten intervention achieving a 4x increase in lowercase sound recognition in just 90 days.
Implementing Alive Studios and seamlessly integrating it into existing core curricula is remarkably simple. Teachers are fully supported through our Video Learning Center, professional learning options, and unlimited support calls, ensuring they can easily and effectively deliver evidence-based instruction immediately.
Alive Studios supports English Language Learners (ELL) by providing a highly engaging, multisensory environment that uses 3D augmented reality to spark meaningful conversations and rapid skill acquisition. In Mr. Greg's literacy case study involving a majority ELL population (over 85%), just 26 days of instruction led to a massive jump in letter sound recognition from 30% to 96% and nearly doubled proficiency in both uppercase and lowercase letter recognition.
