Skills
For Success is proud of its educational content. By containing
over 200 questions per module this

over 1000 Curriculum supporting
questions. All questions were written and tested by teachers who were
familiar with the original concept. These teachers quickly recognised
the benefits of using Skills For Success in the classroom, and wanted
to contribute their knowledge and experience. |

| A
unique aspect of Skills for Success |
| Skills
For Success has been designed to be fun and engaging for every child
regardless of ability. Not only does it encourage learning across
the key subjects but it has also been proven to increase comprehension
as the only way to score is to read and answer questions correctly.
The questions are not timed out, permitting children to read through
the questions and answers carefully, or even discussing them with
friends or sourcing answers elsewhere, before attempting to score.
Questions can be answered in as much time as is needed, reducing the
chance of an incorrect answer being chosen due to a child feeling
unnecessarily pressured. The overall feel is one of a game that gives
confidence and encourages concentration, but is also extremely fun
and exciting.
A unique aspect of Skills For Success
is its way of collating children’s results; the printable
high score table represents a football league table, this adds to
the overall excitement and encourages each child to strive for the
top. The bonus feature for teachers is that all of the scores for
each pupil are held on the database, showing the total number of
questions answered, the amount scored correct, the number of incorrect
answers and the overall score. By clicking on an individual pupils
name the league table opens up further by showing a list of the
10 topics available in each subject and gives a breakdown of the
question answered for each topic. This will allow for on going assessments,
as the league table is printable and is able to highlight areas
of strength and areas of weakness. This is a key feature for parents
as by printing the league table after every session it can show
the detailed development and improvement of their child throughout
a term.

| The
Software |
| Many
teachers were looking for software that didn’t have the typical
"educational software” program feel and wanted a unique
and more involving theme. So, with this in mind, when you turn on
Skills For Success England you start at the entrance to the stadium,
giving boys and girls the feeling of being involved immediately with
the football team. The game is structured in such a way that it gives
children a feeling of excitement, involvement and wanting to answer
more questions as they progress through the game. To reiterate, the
games develop on a progressive level with the main threads running
throughout the software being INVOLVEMENT, ENCOURAGEMENT and EXCITEMENT. |
