Encyclopedia: Kids Learning

Over 1,000 topics for children ages 5-12 — every one read aloud, every one paired with a 2-to-15-minute video. An encyclopedia that reads itself to your kids.

New entries added every day, across science, history, the natural world, technology, and the arts. Every article runs 300 to 500 words, written for independent readers in the middle grades — the gap between picture-book apps and Wikipedia.


Read, listen, or watch

The three-way pairing is the foundation of the app. Older children read the article. Middle readers follow along with the narration. Younger children watch the paired video and absorb the same material.

At bedtime, press play. The narration becomes a bedtime story — short, educational, and read aloud so you don't have to.


A rewards system parents actually control

Encyclopedia includes a built-in token economy that replaces paper chore charts and sticker books.

You define the behaviors that count: reading time, chores, homework, instrument practice, getting dressed without being asked. You set each point value. You define the rewards your child can redeem points for: thirty minutes of screen time, a new book, a trip to the park, dessert on a school night.

Two modes, tuned to age. For younger children, parents confirm each completion. Older children log their own progress and the app becomes their habit tracker — parents review and approve rewards.


A reading habit that builds

Daily streaks reward consistency, with milestone rewards at 7, 30, 100, and 365 days. Streak-freeze protection means one missed day doesn't erase months of progress. Points, achievements, and three leaderboards — all-time, monthly reading, and monthly behavior — give children specific short-term goals between the big streak milestones.


Built for multi-child families

One family account supports unlimited child profiles, each with their own progress, streak, leaderboard rank, and reward balance.

Children can sign in on their own device with their own Google or Apple account — a parent on a phone, a child on a tablet — and everything syncs across the family.

The parent dashboard shows each child's reading progress, streaks, achievements, and reward balance in one place — protected by a PIN that works across every linked device.


What's inside

Science. Space and astronomy. Animals and wildlife. The human body. Earth and environment. History. Ancient civilizations. Technology and computers. Geography. Arts and music.

Search works across every article.

Flashcard decks, currently in beta, cover sight words, math facts, and foundational vocabulary.


Safety

No advertising of any kind. No ad networks, no promoted content, no licensed characters. Behavior rewards and flashcard progress work offline and sync when the device reconnects. Available on Android and iOS.
