For parents, carers and teachers
What this is, and what it is not.
What it is
A plan for the whole of school, laid out so you can read it: 13 grades, 88 subjects, 296 chapters and 794 playlists. Open any grade and you can see every topic that will be covered before anything is made.
Lessons are built for one grade at a time. The same idea taught in Grade 3 and Grade 9 gets two different lessons, not one lesson with a harder voice-over.
What it is not
Not a replacement for school, and not a test. There are no scores, no streaks and nothing designed to keep a child watching longer than the lesson lasts.
We ask for one thing about a child: which grade they are in. Not their school, not their birthday, not their address.
How the age groups differ
Sprouts
Kindergarten · Grade 1 · Grade 2
Lessons of about 4 minutes, narrated for read aloud to the child; no text is required to follow the lesson. Each playlist ends with a workshop: a game: point at the right picture, count along, say it out loud.
Explorers
Grade 3 · Grade 4 · Grade 5
Lessons of about 7 minutes, narrated for a confident reader of short sentences. Each playlist ends with a workshop: three questions with a pause before each answer, and one puzzle to try alone.
Builders
Grade 6 · Grade 7 · Grade 8
Lessons of about 10 minutes, narrated for a fluent reader who can hold a two-step idea. Each playlist ends with a workshop: a worked problem, a common wrong answer shown and corrected, then four to solve.
Scholars
Grade 9 · Grade 10 · Grade 11 · Grade 12
Lessons of about 14 minutes, narrated for a student who can read a textbook and a diagram together. Each playlist ends with a workshop: exam-style problems worked end to end, including one marked wrong first, then a set to attempt.
A note on safety
There is nothing for a child to post, and nowhere for one child to message another. An account exists so the site remembers a grade, and for nothing else.
