Gwinnett County Public Library Introduces Learning alive™ Kits for Early Readers

With donations from the Atlanta Retailers Association (ARA)and the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, Alive Studios is equipping all 15 Gwinnett County Public Library branches with its Learning alive™ kits.

Alive Studios’ programs use a technology called augmented reality (3D without glasses) to bring lessons to life. Students interact with 26 virtual zoo animals while learning the essential fundamentals of reading and math.

The Learning alive Plus kit that will be donated to each library branch includes 26 letter cards, 97 sight-word cards, and 84 word-family cards. Each card is interactive and triggers multiple 3D animations depending on the word or sentence that is created. While learning to identify and sound out each letter, children are able to hear, see, touch, build, and speak throughout the lesson. Also included are three Interactive Stories and a full, supplemental math program aligned to state standards for kindergarten.
