Narrator AR play online

NOTE: This app works in conjunction with printed activity sheets or books from NarratorAR.com.au

Pioneering immersive technology for kindergarten, Narrator AR encourages children to pick up a pen and write before using the app to animate handwritten words off the page in augmented reality.

It encourages children at a vital stage of early education to engage essential fine motor and cognitive skills in order to support early literacy and brain development.

Watching letters and numbers form in 3D animation helps young learners gain a deep understanding of how to write. It is specifically beneficial for visual learners.

Sustaining interest and engagement is a challenge so we have introduced alternative endings for each AR animation, delivered in a random sequence. This encourages children to write more and play again.

AR activity sheets connect children to their work and gamifying handwriting from simple introductory activities to word hunts, AR adventures and 'get moving' activities. Activities follow children through over a year of learning skills, applying knowledge and then building confidence as writers and storytellers.

Narrator AR is ideal for group or independent classroom use, 1:1 home learning or OT sessions. The app is designed for 3-5year olds and popular with people learning English as a second language.
