Teacher Testimonials
Joanie Hollinger
PreSchool Director
“We’ve been using Letters alive in our preschool classrooms for over 10 years. We also purchased Math alive when it was introduced. We tried the Letters alive journals the first year they came out and then added the Math journals when they were introduced!
The journals are an easy way to track the progress of our students. I can not say enough about how much the Alive Studios programs have impacted the progress of our children throughout the years. I would HIGHLY recommend this program to any preschool or Kindergarten that is looking for an engaging resource to enhance learning in their classrooms.”
Tracy Jackson
Pre-Kindergarten Teacher
“The kids’ engagement is nothing like I have ever seen before in my 19 years of teaching.”
“Only 20 percent of our preschool kids are ready for kindergarten. Now our libraries have the ability to bridge that gap with Letters alive.”
Amy Burke
Kindergarten Teacher
“What I like is that the kids ask for it, and if they ask for it that means they enjoy it… We have worked on sentence structure, sight words, and color words have increased drastically.”
Sheila Rogers

“It is very easy to use and has activities that can support brief mini-lessons as well as lengthier, more in-depth lessons. It can align with and enhance any curriculum.”
Sheila Rogers, a kindergarten teacher in the Gwinnett County Public School District, considers Letters alive as a powerful tool that enhances her current curriculum.

“I have been using Letters alive in my kindergarten class for almost a year now and my students and I absolutely LOVE it! I presented this program to our admin, tech department, and other kindergarten teachers and it was a big hit!”
Brittany Beitler
Kindergarten Teacher
“My class LOVES Letters alive! It is such an easy program to integrate into your existing curriculum. I have seen a huge difference in my students after completing just the first unit in the classroom!
It’s the perfect way to keep students learning, practicing what they need, and having fun at the same time. It is also hands-on and easy for the students to manipulate by themselves.”

The movie-like look keeps them focused; and without even realizing, they walk away better prepared for kindergarten!”
