The Reward-Based Learning System
BRAINtastic is the reward-based learning system, where the work is almost as much fun as the games! Every child is unique in their capacity for effort for reward, so BRAINtastic allows you to vary the amount of work to be completed before they can play a Reward Game. You choose the activities and your kids choose a cool Reward Game!
- Gives your child maximum motivation to keep on learning!
- Humorous twists, constant feedback and corrections to keep students engaged and on-task
- Activity types include text input, missing answer, drag-and-drop, multiple choice, true or false and more!
- “Questions Only” mode allows kids to focus on the content without playing the Reward Games
Reward Games
- Because each child is different, each BRAINtastic! title features three or more unique Reward Games to motivate every child!
- Children can track their personal high scores, or match themselves against each other for the highest overall score.
- Progress within each Reward Game is cumulative, so children can build on their previous scores.
- Maximise motivation by accessing extra Reward Games as you install new BRAINtastic! titles.
Every BRAINtastic v2 Reading Success title comes with the following Reward Games:
- Extreme Face Maker – Girls
Make the face you’ve always dreamed of, or maybe the one you hope you never have! There’s all sorts of crazy face shapes to choose from, with hundreds different eyes, noses, mouths, hair styles and skin colours. You can change the colour of any of the parts and then print it or paste it into your documents. - Extreme Face Maker – Guys
With Extreme FaceMaker – Guys, no two faces are exactly alike. Choose from hundreds of different face shapes, eyes, noses, mouths, hair styles and skin colours to create a completely new face every time you play. When you’re done, you can print it out or paste it into your documents. - ReBop!
Watch the ball bounce on the bubbles and remember where it Bops. Then, use your memory and the mouse to ReBop the bubbles! With bonus rounds and sweet spots ReBop will have your brain bouncing all over! - Toy Storm
It’s clean-up time and the toys are on the loose! It’s going to take all your toy tackling skills to get them back into line. They’ll be running, jumping, squirming and flying to try to escape being caught. If you can grab them, don’t put them in the wrong box, and whatever you do, don’t let any get out of the room.

Integrated Speech
To help kids learn to read, Integrated Speech and sound support are used throughout the BRAINtastic! Reading Success titles ONE, TWO, THREE and FOUR. Each activity uses spoken instructions, sound reinforcements and corrections to take reading software into a whole new dimension. In titles FIVE and SIX, Integrated Speech is no longer required as children learn to think the meaning of words rather than hear their sounds.
Developing readers can be anywhere from still trying to learn their letters to devouring novels, which is why there is a BRAINtastic! Reading Success title which is just right for each child!
Children’s eyes and ears are both needed to make the difficult jump from speech to reading because kids begin to read by learning the sounds they hear in speech. That’s why BRAINtastic! Reading Success uniquely combines sight and sound for maximum learning potential. It’s like having a teacher sit and read to each child!
The Integrated Speech and sound support in BRAINtastic! Reading Success is extremely comprehensive, with over 3,800 sound files for phonemes, vocabulary, instructions, answers and more! Sound support reinforces sound/symbol correlations and frees the child from reading instructions – now what book can do that?
