Norah's Bloom

Adopt a pet. Raise it. Teach it. Watch it grow. Norah's Bloom is a virtual pet your child actually raises. Every pet starts life as a tiny blob, and what it becomes depends on how it is cared for. Feed it, wash it, brush it, play with it, make art with it, read it stories, and teach it, and it grows through three stages into a bunny, a kitty, a puppy, a bubble, or a flower. WHEN YOUR CHILD GETS STUCK, WE DRAW IT OUT Get a math question wrong and the app does not just say try again. Tap Show me how and it draws the solution the way it is actually taught in school: ten-frames and number bonds in the early grades, base-ten blocks and regrouping in the middle, area models, tape diagrams and partial quotients later on. One step at a time, at your child's pace, and asking for help never costs a star. LEARNING THAT FITS YOUR CHILD Choose your child's grade or age and school builds itself around them: the last six months of the grade below as warm-up, all of their current grade, and the first six months of the grade above, which unlocks once they have mastered their own level. Grades K through 5. A child who needs review has it. A child who races ahead has somewhere to go. Math is sequenced against Common Core progressions, from counting and comparing all the way through fractions, decimals and ratios. Vocabulary comes with kid-friendly definitions and fill-in-the-blank sentences that read aloud on tap. A PLAYGROUND, NOT A WORKSHEET Six mini-games. Memory Match and Hide and Seek have no timer at all, plus Bubble Pop, Snack Catch, Dance Party and Ball Bounce. Winning earns hearts to spend on prizes. STORY TIME Read your pet a book while it listens and bounces along. Six illustrated stories across three reading levels. AN ART CLASS WHERE THE PET PAINTS TOO Draw with brushes, spray, rainbow, fill and stamps, then watch your pet try to copy your picture. It gets steadier the more you teach it. A HOME OF ITS OWN Earn hearts to buy a house your pet can actually go inside, and toys chosen for each kind of pet. MADE FOR PARENTS TOO No ads, ever. No in-app purchases. Hearts are earned, never bought. No accounts, no logins, no links out of the app. No data collected. Nothing is transmitted. Everything stays on the device. Works completely offline. Music, sound effects and read-aloud can each be turned off. Improvement never stops.
