Little and often beats long and rare for early math and reading. Each daily event has a single-digit sum for younger kids, a two-digit sum and a times-table question for older ones, and a rhyming word game that builds phonics without anyone noticing.
The answers are below a gap. The rhyme game doesn't have a fixed answer. Count the real words and try to beat that number next month.
