Teachers from several countries found that Inanimate Alice successfully engaged otherwise reluctant readers. It integrates topics from various subjects and allows students to think critically about media and its connections to reading, writing, and geography. Both teachers and students enjoy Inanimate Alice and how it keeps students engaged in learning. It is particularly useful for reluctant readers and Deaf students.

2. I have 38 year 5/6 students
in my literacy group and they
are so into Inanimate Alice.
I decided to use it in my
programme to try to engage
the students that 'don't like
reading' but they can't get
enough of it now, both online
and reading the text only
version.

3. Canada, especially this region, close to Toronto,
is extremely multicultural, and this story has
really been able to reach so many of our
students… It allows so much thought about media
and the connections to reading, writing, media,
and the geography curriculums are great.

4. 21st century schools
must keep up with

5. This is just a wonderful and
innovative way to get students
engaged and into reading and
understanding multimedia elements
and how they add to the beauty of
the text. ..I have begun making
smartboard lessons to go along
wiith each episode...

6. I just started the program with my
7th graders yesterday and they are
hooked! Today they have all asked if
we could work on it; not something
you usually hear from 7th graders.

7. Teachers and students alike
love Inanimate Alice, and it’s
especially good to use with
our reluctant readers.

8. I love the visual
presentation and
engaging activities
that keep my Deaf
students and
reluctant readers
so engrossed that
they forget it is
learning!!

9. I have had such fun and success using
Alice's story in the classroom, and I hope
to encourage many others to get involved
with it as well. Thank you for creating
such a wonderfully innovative form of
storytelling and for the education support
materials that are so helpful!

10. As a final activity, I have
students write and produce
their own episode 5. It is a
perfect activity to complete
our year. Students are very
engaged while working on the
activities. The grade level is
7th.

11. I'm pretty passionate about the
project, as I used it in a unit of
teaching for the full registration
process that graduate teachers have
to go through. So, Inanimate Alice
helped me get my full registration.
