My girls love the tools and incentives. We're able to select specific course materials from Smile Zemi. She's motivated by her sister using it. We're preparing to full-time homeschool next year, and plan on utilizing Smile Zemi as part of our curriculum.

A tablet focused
exclusively on learning.

I would love it because they are using screen time for learning vs getting on the iPad to watch TikTok or YouTube. She is doing activities that help her advance academically.
