More than ABCs and 123s
Early learning is also patience, confidence and trying again. StudyBuddies is built for that.
Meets each child where they are
The games set their own level from how your child is doing. Every page can be read aloud. Calm mode turns the music, the hurry and the crowding down for a child who needs that.
Builds independence
Before a game’s first play, a short tutorial shows exactly what to do, in pictures and out loud. A hint explains the idea and leaves the last step for your child.
Shows you what it sees
Your child’s week on one page: time learning, what they practiced, and the mistakes they keep making, so you know what to work on together.
