Bubo
Reading, Year 1
The genetic method: hear the sound, meet the capital letter, read the first word. Czech and Slovak, with Bubo the owl.
Years 2–3
Mass and capacity — scales and jugs
How heavy are the apples, and how much water is in the bucket? The needle and the water always stop exactly on a mark, just not a numbered one, so the child works out what one small mark is worth. Then converting and comparing: 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 l = 1000 ml.

What we are building
The same ground, on a tablet. The sheets are free and will stay free; the apps are how we make a living.
