Free Little Reader, Price Changes, and Promotional Discounts!

[Lappy]

Major Announcement: Free Little Reader, Price Changes, and Promotion Discount! We have a major announcement to make about our Little Learner suite of products (Little Reader, Little Math and Little Musician), which has been under preparation for quite a while. It concerns how you will be able to access and purchase our products going forward, as well as price changes and a promotional launch discount. 1. Free Versions Of Little Reader, Little Math & Little Musician For the longest time now, we've been wanting to allow more people to be able to afford our products, by reducing the entry cost of our Little Learner products. It's therefore with great pleasure that we announce today the launch of Little Reader LITE, Little Math LITE, and Little Musician LITE! Here are the important things to know about this LITE version of the products:   •  It will never expire - you can use it forever!   •  You can use it to play back courses (trial courses, or full courses which you purchased separately)   • However, you will NOT be able to do anything else, such as creating, editing, customizing, printing, and does not have any additional tools like Easy Voice Recorder and Picture Editor. You will only have one main panel in your software: the PLAY COURSES panel (in addition to the START GUIDE, SUPPORT and FORUM screens, plus basic features in the TOOLS screen).   • But the best part is: it's FREE! All Lite versions will come with "Starter" content  which are the same as the Trial content available before, and additional different language starter packs for Little Reader will be available for download during the Pro trial period (see below). 2. PRO Features Available Separately For those of you who wish to take advantage of the full power of our Little Learner software, you can now do so at any time simply by purchasing a PRO key that will unlock all features.  With this key, you will have access to all panels in addition to just the PLAY COURSES panel, such as PLAY & EDIT (for Little Reader), DOWNLOAD, FREE PLAY (for Little Musician), etc. Pro keys are now available separately for Little Reader, Little Math and Little Musician for $99 each. NOTE: When you download LITE, it  comes with a 14-day trial of the PRO features, so during this time, you can try them out. It would be best to  download the Starter Content Packs in all   languages, as you would be able to play and replay them all even after the PRO trial ends.  You will not be able to download anything anymore after the end of the PRO trial. 3. All Curricula Sold Separately at $99 All curricula, including the English US/UK curricula, can be purchased separately, and you can purchase it independently of the PRO key.  The regular price of each curriculum is $99.   WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN FOR ME? Scroll to the bottom to find out, or read the announcement on our Discussion Forum! 4. Change Of Prices & Promotion There will be some other slight adjustments to prices overall, in order to make things generally more affordable to everyone.  And to kick off all these new changes, we are adding on a Mother's Day promotion right now! BRILLKIDS ♥ MOTHER'S MONTH! Join us as we celebrate Mother's Day with all moms everywhere! We are giving away great discounts all around!

FAQs 1. What does this all mean for me?   • You can use all our products with basic starter content forever, for free, by just enjoying the LITE versions.   • You can now purchase LR, LM and LMs with the full curricula at a much lower price than before. The entry cost to access our full curricula for each of our products is now only $99. You just need to get the LITE product, and pay for a curriculum.   • You do not need to invest another $99 to get the PRO key if you do not need all the PRO features. You can decide to upgrade to PRO later at any time, if you feel you have a need for it. So effectively, you're no longer forced to have to pay for all those features if you don't even need them. If you're a "just hit play" person, this is perfect for you.   • If you aren't interested in the English curriculum and just want to teach other languages, you're now also no longer forced to pay for the English curriculum that used to be bundled with Little Reader. Now, you would just get Little Reader LITE for free, and pay for the language curriculum you're interested in (say, Chinese), clean and simple, with the PRO key being an additional option. 2. What about LR Basic, Deluxe, etc.? We will still have the "Basic" and "Deluxe" packages, but these are now just bundles which you can choose if you wish to save some money. For example, if you want the English curriculum and PRO features anyway, it would make sense if you just get Little Reader Basic or Deluxe, since it would be cheaper than if you were to get the English curriculum and PRO key separately. 3. Can I download lots of library content during the PRO trial and continue to play the content after the PRO trial ends? During the PRO trial, you will have access to all features, including downloading from our library, so you will be able to download whatever you want during this time. However, after the PRO trial ends, you will only be able to access the PLAY COURSES panel of the software. In the case of Little Reader, this means that you would not be able to access the PLAY & EDIT panel, which would mean that you will no longer be able to access individual Category downloads either. However, you will still be able to access the different language starter content packs that you may have downloaded, as these are accessed from the PLAY COURSES panel. In the case of Little Math and Little Musician, icon sets that you downloaded previously would still show up in the lessons that you are able to play back from the PLAY COURSES panel.

Sounds like some great changes!  What is the difference between the basic version and the new pro version?  I see both listed in the store, but they look the same to me.

[Mandabplus3]

Now that is a great idea. That will help many of the parents who are not teaching English first around the world. Love it.
Do those of us with a full version now need to update? Say if we buy a new language pack?  If we do update in the future will it change our version to pro?
$99 is quite a bit more accessible for many families world wide. Great choice.

[Mandabplus3]

I just figured out you can get a 300 day long country cause and play it on this new lite version for only $31! What a bargain! And useful for older kids to boot!

[EnzoDad]

Thanks for the discount!  Finally decided to buy the LR Basic and LR Touch last night with this Mother's day discount.  Started with Day 1 class with my baby Enzo today.

Looks great!! Now if only there was an iPad version of Little Math everything would be perfect!!!!

[Tamsyn]

Okay, I get it now.  The PRO version isn't a curriculum, just the features to edit, make your own content, and download new files from the library.  The English version is separate.  I don't know why I didn't get it the first time I read through everything- it's pretty clear.  Sorry!

[Skylark]

Manda,

Those of us who've been using the original LR version, already have all the PRO features, and it will stay that way, updates and all.

And yes, Tamsyn, you are right, PRO is not a curriculum. One can get any curriculum separately now, no need to buy English in order to use Spanish for instance. And if you are planning to only play back the Already prepared curriculum, it will be all that you will need.

But if you would like to create your own lessons (which something I do all the time and find it extremely useful), your own courses, download thousands of files from free lesson library and organize them in courses, share what you have created with others, customize the play back,  use picture editor and easy voice recorder, then you can opt to get PRO and enable all those awesome features 

I think overall it gives more flexibility for all!

[Mandabplus3]

I think its a great solution. Plus you can spread out the costs over a longer time period. For he first few months you can Use a basic language pack and later once you are hooked upgrade to Pro fabulous for all the non English users.
I understand we will keep all the features I was just wondering if the next upgrade would change the wording or look of ours. More from curiosity than any really important reason 

[Lappy]

Thank you so much for all the positive feedback. We're very happy to make these new changes - and you're all right - we wanted to give everyone more accessible entry points to be able to use our program.

We probably won't be changing the look anytime soon though Mandabplus3

Just a few important points (in a very very summarized format):

 - If you already have Basic from before = that's equal to having a CURRICULUM + PRO

 - If you're a new parent who wants to teach, but you're really not into making your own lessons = just get a curriculum. You won't need PRO at all.

 - If you're a teacher who doesn't want to use our curriculum or media but you want to make your own lessons = just get PRO.

 - If you're a parent/teacher who wants to use the curriculum AND make your own lessons = get a CURRICULUM + PRO. Or better yet, get BASIC. 

 - If you're undecided about getting anything just yet, that's just fine too! You can just download the programs and use the trial over and over and over again!

Oh, and don't miss out on the new COUNTRY COURSES! They come with a schedule already, they're great for older kids AND 100% of the sale goes to our Early Education for Every Child Foundation! How neat is that?

Thank you thank you thank you to all the volunteers who made this happen - and a massive heartfelt thanks to our EECF president Natalie who coordinated everything!

Have a wonderful week everyone!
