Climb the beanstalk with Jack and join in with his adventures using our multi-award-winning Come Alive Stories on the platform of your choosing. This app can be downloaded for use on iPad, Android tablet, PC and Mac (for further details on device compatibility, please see the Apps FAQ).

The app contains all your favorite features from the original software – an engaging mix of rhythm, rhyme, song and illustration – alongside brand new content and tools, including the facility for children to record and edit text and spoken stories, which can be made into their own story books.

A fantastic resource to support key language and literacy development, each app contains the following activities:

Read with me – Sing with me

Children can follow the animated story as it is read or sung to them, or read the text independently at their own pace.

Let me play

This section includes a range of interactive games exploring such skills as auditory discrimination and story sequencing. There is also the opportunity for children to interact with the story, triggering animations as they explore each screen.
