For nearly two decades, classroom teachers and university faculty have been using Inanimate Alice to engage, motivate, and inspire students of all ages. Inanimate Alice offers a unique reading experience that allows educators to teach an array of critical skills: problem-solving, critical thinking, multimodal decoding, and more. When episodes are paired with content in the curriculum guides, reading and learning come alive.

Inanimate Alice is a digital-first narrative about Alice, a girl who travels the world with her parents. In her early years, Alice is homeschooled as her family travels from China, to Saudi Arabia, and then to Australia with holidays in the Italian Alps and other locations young readers can imagine. Alice, like many of today’s young readers, is keenly interested in technology and she aspires to become a digital game designer one day. Young readers readily relate to Alice – her worries, her interest in technology, and her vivid imagination, which leads her to design her digital best friend, Brad, who is with Alice throughout her adventures.
