Ben and Becky are more than hosts; these twins transform themselves into the activities. Becky becomes a plane to help kids learn the alphabet. There's no telling what Ben will become in the crazy Mealtime Maze. In other activities, kids learn first letter identification, measurement and estimation, sequencing and patterning, spelling and phonics, time telling, reading and sentences, counting computation, geography and directions, science, spatial perception art, and music creativity. Other activities include Silly Stories, Hide'n'Seek, Making Faces, Music Makers, Bird Perch Math, and Bubble Business. Kids are motivated to complete activities successfully because they earn Smart Stars. Once they've collected enough stars, they can take on the SuperStar of Smarts Challenge. Parents can track progress via the Smart Chart. Adjustable difficulty levels ensure children learn at their own pace and are never bored or frustrated. Kids can use a simple interface to print out favorite screens or activities.
