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.
