Striver vs Phonics Play & Learn

Striver has been created with a sole purpose: To improve primary aged pupils’ (5-11) long-term physical and mental wellbeing. We do that by ensuring children of all abilities feel motivated and engaged, and teachers of all experience levels feel confident and in control. It is the only PE scheme of work that includes health and wellbeing lessons. Over 250 PE lessons, supported by six wellbeing units, all housed in a web-platform that minimises the time required for admin, without cutting any corners. Striver makes PE accessible to teachers from all backgrounds. Simple lesson plans include images, diagrams and videos to guide instructors every step of the way. One-touch assessment makes progress tracking quick and easy. Striver includes an app that works off-line so you can access lesson plans and do assessment on the move. Our lessons focus on developing the underlying key skills that make up all sports, things like using movement to create space and controlling objects with your hands or feet. Breaking sports down into key skills creates more opportunity for children to experience improvement. It also means children will feel confident to try out new sports independently. Each unit starts and ends with a unique Skill Development Activity and children's individual scores are recorded, giving a clear indication of their progress over time. Striver’s purpose and functionality meet the requirements of the Sports Premium Fund as it gives teachers the confidence and resources to teach PE and develop PE and wellbeing throughout the school. Striver's calendar function allows you to assign units to different classes and groups. Once assigned, the teachers have all the information they need to deliver outstanding PE lessons and you can see exactly who is teaching what throughout the year. Data from every teacher is synced together online, so you can generate powerful whole-school reports whenever you need them.

Phonics Play & Read makes learning to read fun and easy for young children. Designed for ages 3-8, the app teaches phonics through interactive lessons, hands-on games, and delightful stories, all in a safe, ad-free environment. PRIVACY No adverts. No analytics. No accounts, no sign-up, no data collection of any kind. Nothing your child does leaves the iPad. There is no third-party software in this app at all. It starts with the sound each letter makes and helps your child read get on the path to whole stories on their own. In between there is a path: one clear next thing to do, every time they open the app, so nobody has to decide what to practise. A GUIDED PATH 16 stages, from the alphabet to the first 100 words. Each stage mixes lessons, games and a story, and finishes with a short checkpoint so you can see the learning has stuck. Nothing is timed and nothing is ever lost a checkpoint that does not go well can be tried again straight away. WHAT IS INSIDE - 173 lessons: every letter sound, short vowel words, digraphs, blends, long vowels, and the 100 words that make up half of everything your child will read - 60 stories in six levels, every one read aloud in a warm human voice - 12 games, including tracing letters in the night sky, catching falling sounds in a bucket, and building words from bubbles - Comprehension questions after every story, because reading the words is only half of reading BUILT FOR SMALL CHILDREN FOR THE GROWN-UPS A parent area behind a simple gate shows which sounds your child is finding tricky, not just how many stars they have. You can open the whole path if your child already knows their letters, set the difficulty, switch on a dyslexia-friendly typeface, and save a copy of everything they have earned so a new iPad never loses it. WHAT IS FREE The whole first stage all 26 letters and their sounds is free, along with the first three stories and every game. A subscription opens the rest of the path, all 60 stories and unlimited play. Monthly and annual subscriptions are available. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
