Our program
Our program has three unique elements – our teachers, our technology and our educational programming that work together to create a personalized experience for your child.
our technology
Our proprietary technology allows emerging readers and experienced teachers to read books together, no matter where they are. Our App was designed based on a research project at Sesame Workshop (the creators of Sesame Street).
Within the App, kids and teachers can read a book together with the same page appearing on each users screen, see and hear each other over video chat, and see where the other is pointing. This shared experience of pointing is important, allowing for the back and forth interaction between a teacher and child that stimulates learning.
Teachers and students can see and hear each other over video chat. Calls are one to one.
Books are synchronized on both sides of the video call. Both the teacher and student will see the same book, on the same page, at the same time – just like if they were reading together in the same place!
A shared pointer allows both students and teachers to point to things, allowing for dialogic reading and inquiry.
