BrainPOP’s English content is comprised of five units that each include multiple topics. Units are Famous Authors & Books, Grammar, Study and Reading Skills, Writing, and Free Movies. Some topics are repeated in more than one unit. The program is intended for students’ independent use. Units and topics are not sequential and may be accessed by the student in any order.
