I love teaching Inanimate Alice. I save it up for the end of the year because it is my favourite unit. I use it for an English unit called “Everyone’s a Writer”. It gives me an awesome platform to investigate different types of story-telling and writing techniques.

My students have been so highly engaged and can’t wait to do more! They even wanted to know if they could do it at home, and that is unheard of in our school community!

I love the visual presentation and engaging activities that keep my Deaf students and reluctant readers so engrossed that they forget it is learning!!

I love how the language is so supported by the graphics that even beginner English language learners can understand it!

I have been a massive fan of Inanimate Alice for almost 6 years now. It is the only resource that has travelled with me from Grade 6 to 7 to 8 and currently in Grade 2. A fantastic teaching tool.

I want to praise @InanimateAlice for being THE best non-coding related educational tool I have ever used because of how it engages my students. Nothing quite like a character to lead them in.
