Subjects and number of topics covered:
Beloved and relatable characters introduce and build students' background knowledge in a way that's inviting and easy to access.
BrainPOP Jr. blends hands-on tasks with digital learning activities to deepen and extend comprehension.
BrainPOP Jr. supports emerging readers and writers with visual and audio support across all topics:
Teach your K-3 students to love learning and help them succeed in the rest of their elementary curriculum—and beyond. Animated movies with relatable characters introduce students to new concepts and vocabulary, while interactive and educational activities provide creative opportunities to build knowledge and show what they know.
At the heart of every BrainPOP lesson is a movie—with relatable characters and humorous stories—designed to teach K-3 learners in a way that’s engaging and accessible for them. Built-in questions, via Annie’s Notebook, help students focus on the most important information.
Make movie time an active learning experience with embedded prompts that reinforce key concepts and get students involved in their own learning.
Encourage students to practice and apply critical thinking and comprehension—while monitoring their understanding of new concepts—with quizzes connected to the movie.
*Difficulty is distinguished by complexity of grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure to meet K-1st and 2-3rd grade needs
Strengthen students’ recall of new vocabulary through interactive writing, drawing, and speaking prompts that help them show what they know—in the way that works best for them.
Kickstart students' computational thinking skills with block-based coding. Developed in partnership with Scratch, topic-based projects provide every teacher a way to introduce computational thinking that fosters creative expression and experimentation.
Encourage students to practice and apply their new vocabulary knowledge right alongside their writing skills.
Give students the opportunity to show their understanding through art with prompts like: “Draw something you are curious about and want to explore.”
Make connections between concepts by discussing and organizing connected ideas with discussion prompts and graphic organizers.
...and more!
Create even more opportunities for learning and laughter with “Pop a Joke,” “Belly Up,” and other games that excite and engage.
