โ€œWait, I have a questionโ€ฆโ€Letโ€™s answer it!

My child already reads in English. Is this still useful?+
Yes! Dutch letters sound different: aa, ui, ij. Ik lees al! teaches them step by step.
Is this the same method as school?+
It follows the same order as groep 3: sounds first, then hakken en plakken. Itโ€™s not an official school method, but it supports it.
Does my child need to read before starting?+
No. Your child starts with the first letters on island 1.
What is the investment?+
โ‚ฌ297 for the whole course, once, with lifetime access.
What if my child doesnโ€™t like it?+
Start with the free trial lesson. Your child will show you in a few minutes if it clicks.
Which devices does it work on?+
On a tablet, a laptop or a phone, in the browser. Tracing works with a finger, a mouse or an Apple Pencil.
Is my childโ€™s data safe?+
Your child gets their own login, and you set it up. I only ask for what the course needs. There are no ads and no chat, and recordings your child makes stay on your own device.
When can we start?+
The courses open in January. Join the waitlist and youโ€™ll be the first to know.
Does my child need me next to them?+
No. I explain every step out loud. Joining in is always a bonus, never a must.
