The worlds greatest READING app for kids!

SmartBits is an educational stimulation application designed for children between 3 months and 6 years old based on the Doman Reading Program.

It uses "BITS of Intelligence" or "Word Cards", which are units of information in the form of written word or words taught in full screen mode (visual stimulus) accompanied by an audio recording of the word displayed (auditory stimulus).

BITS or Information Cards are categorized into groups according to subject.

SmartBits helps children to:

• Advance language skills.
• Learn new vocabulary.
• Stimulate reading skills.
• Develop visual and auditory capabilities.
• Improve attention and concentration.

SmartBits is a STIMULATION METHOD organized into sessions.


MODES OF OPERATION:

• AUTOMATIC MODE. The cards change automatically every 1.5 seconds. SmartBits adds new cards from time to time, removing the oldest from the relevant group. Once it has been displayed a sufficient number of times, the entire group is withdrawn. Adults should only be concerned with adding groups of cards to sessions when asked to do so by SmartBits.

• MANUAL MODE. The adult or child work manually through the cards from the chosen group. In this mode, the cards can be used without automatic audio reproduction to improve the childs verbal skill with the aid of an adult.

• LOOP MODE. This displays all the cards from all available categories in one on-going session.


FEATURES:

• Creation of multiple users, so several children can use the program independently.
• Option to create two user profiles, one in each language, so a single child can use the program in both languages.
• User’s guide.
• Settings panel for SmartBits users.
• AUDIO RECORDING module to replace the card audio with new recordings in your own voice and/or recordings in another language. This module can be obtained from SmartBits.
• Child protection feature to prevent access to the Internet.
• Suitable for children with special educational needs.
