10 minutes, in your hands,
taught the way school does.
For any parent of a K-5 kid whose teacher flagged a reading or math skill to practice at home.
3 Activities, 10 minutes each
- Count change to $1 using coins at home
- Read two pages aloud, then retell it back
- Sort the laundry by more / fewer than 5
A teacher built this, not an app company.
The founder is a teacher, and what teachers know is what works in ten minutes. Every Activity is written the way your child's classroom already teaches it, using things you already have at home.
- Matches the exact skill your child's teacher flagged
- Built from coins, laundry, books — things already at home
- One plan covers every child in the family
Your Sunday email, their three weeknights.
No dashboard to check. The plan comes to you, and you bring it to your child when it fits your evening.

This closes the gap Maya's teacher flagged in reading and math — practiced the same way her classroom teaches it.
