For parents and teachers
Each skill is split into small steps in the order they happen, which specialists call task analysis. Start from a step your child already knows, help with the rest, and let your child press the tick.
- Ticks are kept on this device, or for the learner when you are signed in. Start again clears them for next time.
- Add these steps to My day copies the steps into your My day routines, where you can add your own photo or voice to each step.
- The Muslim manners in the steps, such as the toilet duas, starting with the right, Bismillah and Alhamdulillah, come from the Quran and from hadith graded sahih or hasan, with the source on each step.
