How it works

Your child plays an adventure. And learns a serious amount.

Catching creatures, opening lands, growing a buddy — every exercise along the way belongs to their school year.

Joelu builds toward selected EYFS and Year 1 goals (UK) and Common Core K–1 standards (US). A supplement to school, not a replacement.

The buddy grows along, step by step

Tailored

Joelu grows along with your child

Every topic has five levels. Extra practice? Or on to something harder? Both — Joelu handles it, and your child never notices.

  • Going smoothly? That topic steps up a level.
  • Still tricky? It comes back in smaller steps.
  • Want to steer? Put a topic on extra practice yourself.
