Introducing Early Years pupils to the creative use of ICT

Suitable for all abilities, Early Essentials has five easy to use applications: Paint, Chart, Graph, Write and Turtle. It supports the ICT curriculum and other curriculum areas such as Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Art and Humanities. Teacher management has been a central theme in the design of Early Essentials: almost all features can be configured - although the default options are great for the reception classroom.

Here, the Hints and Tips section can help you to do even more with Early Essentials. Read about Using the Teacher Setup, or how easy it is to Create your own Wordbank.
