Lyfta is a wonderful platform to help develop children's knowledge, understanding and empathy of the world around them. As more and more storyworlds are added to the platform, children get to explore places and cultures they were not aware of. The resources have some adaptabilty which allows teachers to make Lyfta a personal experience for their children.

Stuart White found Lyfta:
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    Lyfta's super range of lesson plans and activities can be used or easily adapted to suit the needs of the children.
  • Moderately reduces attainment gap
    Excellent for all learners, including SEND children. Lyfta allows children of all abilities to engage with, and discover cultures beyond their locality. Children are able to jump into the story worlds at different levels and share their thoughts and understanding.
  • Significantly increases student collaboration
    Thoughtful and provactive story worlds promote classroom discussion and debate that all children can take part in.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    Teachers are able to draw upon resources within the different storyworlds, providing a number of cross-curricular links.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    Children can learn about different countries and cultures which they may not have encountered before. They are provided within a valuable insight into social, environmental and cultural issues.
