About Journals Alive
Journals Alive is a free iPhone app created for young learners that brings printed activity journals to life. It complements the My Letters Alive Journal and the My Math Alive Journal by providing an interactive digital layer that reinforces early literacy and numeracy concepts.
Core learning elements
- Counting practice covering numbers from 0 through 20
- Identification and exploration of basic geometric shapes
- Familiarity with every letter of the 26-letter English alphabet
How the experience engages children
The app uses augmented reality to animate zoo animals and other characters, turning static pages into lively, interactive scenes. This visual, hands-on approach helps sustain attention and makes practicing letters, numbers, and shapes more enjoyable for both classroom and at-home use.
Why it works
By combining traditional printed activities with modern AR technology, Journals Alive supports multisensory learning. That blend helps children build foundational skills in reading and math while staying motivated through playful interactions.
Availability and platform
Journals Alive is available at no cost on iPhone. It’s designed for young students and for educators or parents who want an engaging supplement to the My Letters Alive and My Math Alive printed materials.
