Features

Developed by leading education experts, ChatterStars targets rapid vocabulary acquisition. The app is designed to enable children to understand, expand and retain new vocabulary in fun and dynamic exercises, using proven gamification techniques for the digital generation.

“If you can say it, you can write it…”

Our ten innovative question styles are aligned to the national curriculum and vocabulary development stages, supporting children from year 2 to year 11, in SAT’s, the 11+ and GCSE’ and providing schools with a go-to resource to secure progress.

Little and often approach

ChatterStars allows children to create fun characters and earn dynamic rewards for completing vocabulary challenges, with a proven little-and-often approach.

Effort over attainment

With a nod to Britain’s Got Talent, children will be able to earn stars to spend on a guitar solo, singer or performing poodle, rewarding effort over attainment.

Creating communities

Using the power of social proof, children are encouraged to interact with their friends, share scores and acts and even join forces to perform together.

Bolstering Vocabularies

The size of a child’s vocabulary is the best predictor of success on future tests. By reinforcing and bolstering their vocab, we actively enable their reading success.

Levels

Personalised to your child

Your child’s assigned level in ChatterStars is tailored to their current developmental stage, as per the British National Curriculum. All of these levels have been meticulously designed to tackle the challenges of these specific stages, setting your child up for success.

Step One: Tailor to your level

The first ten personalisation puzzles give you your starting level on the platform, to ensure you’re being challenged appropriately.

Step Two: Monitor your progress

ChatterStars will reward your progress, keep you posted on updates and personalise your next steps for learning.

Step Three: Enjoy!

While ChatterStars is recommended for children aged 6-16, our experience has seen a lot of parents and teachers alike becoming engaged in the app and creating accounts of their own. There is no age limit to learning and we are delighted to facilitate anyone who wants to expand their vocabulary.

What a great app! ChatterStars is a really useful addition to our toolkit to boost vocabulary, especially for one to one tuition and as a fun homework task for KS3 and 4.

@ChatterStarsApp This is a fantastic app for students to expand vocabulary. It’s also a great way to support parents with home learning.

Chatterstars has been fantastic for developing the children’s vocabulary skills and I have seen a real difference in the vocabulary that they are using across the curriculum. The children now independently challenge themselves to find higher level words to use and are able to offer suggestions to their peers.

Chatterstars has been engaging for all children and especially our boys, who love to collect the stars. They can’t wait to get into school in the morning to play on the games.

The children’s vocabulary ages have been increasing and having the ability to track this data has been invaluable.

How it all came about

ChatterStars was born on the back of educator Helen Prince’s desire to tackle literacy and the word-gap. The long lasting impact of the word gap on children’s lives was made clear in 2018 with the release of an Oxford University Press report: Why Closing The Word Gap Matters and in 2020 with the release of Bridging the Word-Gap at Transition.

‘Resources such as…online interactive activities were flagged as some of the tools that teachers would value in order to better support vocabulary teaching’ – Bridging the WordGap at Transition 2020

Having seen the need for a strong solution that put a focus back on the power of words and language, Helen started evolving a concept and ChatterStars started to come to life.
