Meet Learning Studio.

Sometimes the useful next step is to look closely at one idea. Learning Studio adds a place to investigate, explain, and revisit that idea, with the family in the loop.

Learning Detective

Explore a tricky idea with targeted questions, a worked model, and a fresh independent check.

Find it: Child: Today or Practice → Learning Studio

Learning receipts

Follow first answers, a fresh memory check after seven days, and work in a new setting. Each result keeps its own context.

Find it: Child or parent: Learning Studio → Learning receipts

Teach your buddy

Find a character’s mistake and choose an explanation that helps. Your child takes the expert role.

Find it: Child: Learning Studio → Teach my buddy

Parent Sidekick

Try a two-minute offline activity with materials, a question to ask, what to listen for, and a stopping point.

Find it: Parent: Family dashboard → Learning Studio

Family expedition

Protect a turtle nest together: read ranger notes, plan supplies, and save a shared field journal. One to five players can join.

Find it: Parent: Learning Studio → Family expedition

Test Confidence Gym

Rehearse a steady routine for unfamiliar questions. Optional confidence reflections stay separate from answer results.

Find it: Child: Learning Studio → Test Confidence Gym

School–Home Handshake

Share one skill through a revocable seven-day link. A teacher can propose a strategy or mark it as not taught yet; the parent approves the next step.

Find it: Parent: Learning Studio → Teacher handshake

Evidence Studio

Connect exact words in an essay to a source paragraph, explain the relationship, and revisit the argument. Connections save with the response.

Find it: Child: Practice → Typed math & writing

What this first release includes

16 original skill packs: one math pack for each of grades 3–8, Algebra 1, and Geometry, plus one reading pack for each of grades 3–10. The packs, Confidence Gym, and family expedition contain 168 distinct activity questions. The first family mission is Protect the Turtle Nest.

Open Learning Studio from the child’s Today or Practice screen, or from the parent family dashboard. Writing evidence connections are in writing practice.

Content review and educational effectiveness validation remain pending. Learning receipts describe completed work; they do not certify mastery or predict a FAST result.
