How it works

Read it. Sing it. Play it. Use it.

One book, four ways in. Start wherever your kids are today.

  1. A spread from one of the books

    Read it

    A real picture book with big, clear words. Tap to turn the page, or go full screen on a tablet or the classroom display.

  2. Close-up of the lyric line lighting up word by word, with the bouncing ball

    Sing it

    Press play. The words light up in time and a ball bounces on each one. Slow it down, or pause before a word for a child to fill in.

  3. C4C1G4A5C5

    Play it

    Turn on the keyboard and the next note glows. Play it on screen or on a USB MIDI keyboard, and the song waits for you.

  4. An activity kit: printed pages, picture cards, and the kit on a tablet

    Use it

    Downloadable activity kits: picture cards, choice boards, First/Then, a data sheet and a take-home sheet. Print them, or use them on screen.

How every book is made

Calm pages, clear words, real songs

Every book passes a content and clinical review checklist before it ships. Our songs are written in-house; the classics are public-domain tunes with new verses.

  • One focal moment per page. Low clutter, so a child knows where to look.
  • Words typeset, never painted in. Big, clear, and in the same place on every page.
  • Kids look like all kids. Wheelchairs, hearing aids and glasses show up as ordinary parts of the world.
  • No child data. Names you type into the reader stay on your device.
