How a lesson works.

Every lesson follows the same trail. Kids know what to expect, and they learn to think out loud.

Listen to the story.

Each lesson opens with your guide telling the story. Your child can pause, replay, or raise a hand to ask a question.

Your guide is talking

GuideSo why were people still angry?

TheoBecause nobody asked them?

Talk it over.

Then the guide starts a conversation. Your child asks questions out loud, and the guide asks good ones back.

Earn the stamp.

The guide checks understanding by asking your child to explain it in their own words. Get it, and the stamp goes in their passport.

Why it's different

A guide, not a tutor.

A tutor waits for questions. A guide leads the way. Most kids need a guide.

Tutor apps wait for your child to ask.

Your child has to know what they don't know. That is hard at any age.

Video programs talk at your child.

They never stop to hear what your child thinks.

Yorewind leads the way.

Lessons in order. Real discussion. Checks for understanding. A parent view. All out loud.
