Brainpop Jr - 3years 4months old

Zo Ee at 3years 4months old. (10th September 2011)


I heard a lot about Brainpop website for months now and have been reluctant to allow Zo Ee to explore it just yet until recently. Even recently, Mummy introduced her to it with the idea that it will keep her occupied for certain period during our recent trip to Hampi while in the long 8 hours day journey. No doubts, Zo Ee immediately fell in love with it.

Since we didn't sign in as a member, Zo Ee finished 80% of the video clips in the 5 days trial. If it was not due to Mummy restriction, kicking her away from the PC, she easily finished everything within that trial period. From the moment she awakened, immediately she wanted to watch brainpop. Mummy limited her watching to one hour each session and as many sessions as she likes provided she gets some break in between. She diligently going through the clips in a systematical order; she wanted to watch each clips in each topics before moving on to another without missing any. She finished Science, Health, Social Studies, Maths, Arts and Technology and partial of the Reading & Writing. A few clips she watched twice, mostly once for all the rest. There are a few more clips that she needs to cover but am very amazed as how systematically she watches and explore Brainpop Jr. (K- Grade3) Mummy has yet to introduce Brainpop (Grade 4 -Grade 12) to her and foreseeing that Zo Ee will definitely enjoyed it better than Brainpop Jr but Mummy didn't want her to skip (Mummy knows that she will definitely do) instead has a clearer understanding of those basic concepts first although she has been reading facts books at much higher level, even into the adult level for sometime now. Mummy especially like Brainpop Jr.'s explanation on each new concepts or words. We will sign her up to Brainpop UK when she is bored with Brainpop Jr. since all Commonwealth countries are following UK syllabus mainly. I foreseeing that this will happen very soon because once she understood and absorb all information , she will not want to watch them again. That's pretty her nature since young. She may want to watch them after a year a part or so but definitely not in the next few months.
