contextual language;

- The newly reimagined outstanding 3-D animation and digital audio captivates children;

- MUZZY BBC immerses both readers and non-readers in nine languages with an expanded video story;
and,

- MUZZY provides hundreds of activities and games as well as 1200 words - the broadest vocabulary in
the industry.

MUZZY BBC is available online, on DVD and on pen drive to suit a variety of global education
environments, including schools, libraries and at-home learning. To learn more about MUZZY BBC, go

This has been an absolutely tremendous year for Growing Minds. Our customers in Europe and
Scandinavia, the Americas, Africa and Australasia have responded enthusiastically to the new MUZZY
BBC. We have also expanded MUZZY BBC from a product to programs. This recognition from BETT
substantiates our efforts, and we are incredibly honored to be named a BETT finalist, said Richard
Flower, vice president and general managers of Growing Minds Media.

The Director of the British Education Suppliers Association (BESA), Patrick Hayes, who chairs the panel
of judges for the BETT Awards, said: This was a record year for the BETT Awards, with more
applications from EdTech companies than ever before, coming in from around the world. This reflects the

status of the BETT Awards as being the global gold standard when it comes to recognising excellence in
education technology. The quality of applications was incredibly high this year, and judges had a lot of
difficult decisions to make when deciding who the finalists should be. It is no mean feat to be a BETT
Awards finalist, and huge congratulations should be in order for all of the companies who made the cut
this year!

The final BETT awards will be announced in London in January 2018.
