WHY DO STUDENTS NEED TO UNDERSTAND IDIOMS?
Idioms show up all the time in conversations. Children initially understand idioms
based on the context. By 4th grade, students are expected to recognize and explain
the meaning of common idioms.

WHAT MAKES THIS APP SPECIAL?
Developed by educators, this app is carefully designed to capture some of the age-
appropriate conversations that take place both in general conversation and in the
classroom.

Research shows hearing an idiom in context improves understanding of idiomatic
expressions. This is the pedagogy we adopted in this app.

Rich, friendly conversations not only keep students engaged but also make idioms
easy to remember and retrieve for later use.

Hi quality studio recordings.

Grade appropriate conversations.

EXAMPLES:
Conversation on Wetlands in Grade 4, 4th idiom

HOW TO MAKE BEST USE OF THIS APP?
Educators can use this app as an educational tool and as a reference for further
study on idioms. Classroom lessons can be created around group learning. Students
can be encouraged to think about other situations where the idiom could be used.

Parents can encourage their children to progressively learn and use idioms as per
their age.
