EduKids: Elementary School at Home gives parents a simple, complete and fun tool to help their children learn in a good mood, from Grade 1 to Grade 5. You can follow their progress at every step. OVER 240 EXERCISES FOR GRADES 1 TO 5 English, math, geometry, measurement, science, history and foreign languages: every topic of the elementary school program is covered. Each exercise is a quiz with 2 to 6 possible answers, often illustrated with colorful pictures. For the youngest, questions and answers are read aloud and can be repeated as often as needed. A VIRTUAL TEACHER EVERY DAY Every day, the virtual teacher gives your child 4 exercises. They are not chosen at random: the teacher uses the 3 topics you selected for your child, so they work on what they need most. The program adapts to the level of each child. STARS, STICKERS AND TROPHIES The more correct answers your child gives, the more stars they earn. Stars unlock stickers and backgrounds: the goal is to collect them all! An exercise completed without a single mistake earns a trophy, with 3 trophies to win per exercise. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY - Daily exercises: chosen by the virtual teacher from the topics you selected. - Parents' exercises: the exercises you assign. They earn the most stars. - Self-selected exercises: your child picks the exercises. The first 4 of the day earn stars. - Challenge: unlocked once the parents' exercises, the daily exercises and 4 self-selected exercises are done. Answer 5 to 30 questions in a row without a mistake to earn lots of stars! ADVANCED MODE OR SIMPLE MODE The advanced mode lets older children explore every section of the app. The simple mode guides the youngest step by step: they only do what the teacher asks, so they never get lost. A PARENTS AREA Protected by a code (adults: keep it secret!), the parents area lets you: - create as many child profiles as you want - assign homework, or choose ready-made programs that run over several days, for example to review during the holidays - follow your children's results and progress - delete profiles Privacy Policy: https://ar-entertainment.net/policy.html Terms of Use: https://ar-entertainment.net/edukids_cgu_us.html
