How much fun can you have learning? If Smart Tales is anything to go by, a lot! The app has more than 2,500 interactive educational games designed to help children aged 2–11 boost their learning in areas such as reading, logic and problem-solving, as well as develop value-based social skills like respect, collaboration and tolerance.
Get to know Smart Tales: The core of the app is the “educational path”, a dynamic and customisable learning experience tailored to each child’s progress and interests. This journey is guided by five characters, each designed to connect with different personalities – with an endless stream of activities to get little ones engaged in learning maths, coding, text comprehension and much more. There’s also a big focus on art and creativity, with plenty of music and colouring activities to enjoy.
Improve your tomorrow: To guide children from their preschool years through the primary grades, the app offers a rich collection of interactive STEM learning challenges that align with elementary school curricula in maths, science and technology, making it a comprehensive resource for early and continuing education. Smart Tales also improves kids’ tomorrow by teaching them to take care of the environment, respect others and grow up with a light-hearted self-awareness.
