Zuri and the shoelaces
Also available in Spanish. The app stops after two lessons a day and suggests something to do away from the screen.
These are the lines the lesson comes back to, and the ones a child actually remembers afterwards.
Add one small word: yet.
A mistake is part of trying, not the end of it.
Story time. This is about a girl called Zuri, a pair of shoes with laces, and one very small word that changed how her whole week went.
Your tower keeps falling down. What's the best thing to say?
Every lesson ends by handing the child something to do off the screen, and telling you what was taught so you can use the same words.
Try this today: Pick your yet thing and practise it for two minutes, then stop. Tell a grown-up: I can't do it yet.
Then: Ask them what they couldn't do when they were your age.
Twenty-four narrated lessons for ages 4 to 9, in English and Spanish. No account, no sign-up, no ads, and nothing your child does in the app ever leaves the device — you can check that yourself with the network tab open. Open the lessons.
