Shoonya Kids: Learn Languages

Built with a research grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Reading, phonics, and math in five languages — for ages 3 to 8. Shoonya Kids teaches early literacy and numeracy in English, Spanish, Hindi, Marathi, and Telugu.

Children can easily switch languages in a single app, bringing true multilingual learning and accessibility to their fingertips.

WHAT CHILDREN PRACTICE

Phonics & Reading — letter sounds, blending, digraphs, rhyming, syllable segmenting, CVC words, and high-frequency sight words

Writing & Tracing — letter and number formation aligned to Handwriting Without Tears, the standard used in schools

Early Math — counting to 100, skip counting, addition, subtraction, geometry, patterns, and positional words

Vocabulary — themed words drawn from food, clothing, instruments, and daily life across cultures

Progress is self-paced and Montessori-inspired, allowing children to choose their own path. Teachers can customize and differentiate learning for students with a dedicated teacher portal.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Genuinely multilingual. Shoonya Kids is built with input from pedagogy experts and Dual Language Immersion educators to provide a genuine learning experience. Content is designed for each language and not run through a translator, so that children learn the language as it is intended to be taught.

Research-backed. Developed under an SBIR grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences, with WestEd as our independent research partner and classroom testing in California public schools.

Built for how children actually learn. Designed in alignment with UNICEF and LEGO Group's RITEC framework and NAEYC's Developmentally Appropriate Practice principles.

Safe by design. COPPA- and FERPA-compliant, no ads, no third-party tracking.

"It helps a lot to have technology that is authentic in Spanish and play-based — it's appropriate for the development and age of this group." — Stephanie Hernandez Jarvis, Kindergarten Teacher, El Camino Elementary

"Shoonya's multicultural and multilingual platform is the state-of-the-art in early language and multiliteracy development." — Dr. Barbara Flores, Former President, California Association for Bilingual Education
