Read, practise, bake and investigate — free resources for curious families.
I wanted my kids to have the joy of falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole — clicking from one random article to the next, chasing whatever made them curious about the world. But two things kept getting in the way:
With the arrival of capable language models — and some careful work on our side — we were able to solve both.
Parents stay in control of what their kids see. Articles are classified by subject and sensitive content. Public articles are available without an account at every available reading level. Maturity restrictions and any additional subjects or topics a parent hides are separate from reading difficulty.
Choose from five reading levels. The same topic is rewritten for Early, Developing, Independent, Fluent, and Advanced readers — so a child who's just sounding out words and an older sibling preparing for high school can each explore the same idea at a level that fits them, and keep that spark of curiosity alive.
I hope your children enjoy this site as much as my own do.
Happy reading!

We start from Wikipedia's most important articles and rewrite each one at five reading stages — Early Reader, Developing, Independent, Fluent, and Advanced — keeping the key facts while adjusting vocabulary, sentence length, and depth to match the reader.
Explore encyclopedia subjects, from Life Science to History to the Arts, and follow related articles from one topic to the next. Parents can set a child's starting reading level and content filters from the dashboard.
There is more to explore: free Maths worksheets from Pre-K through high school, and recipes with ingredient charts and practical baking science.
Science Lab brings one hundred activities across ten science subjects into twenty short guided journeys. Every lesson has five reading levels, an interactive activity, a checkpoint with explanations and specific reputable sources.
Nepedia writes the explanations and activities using NASA, NOAA, USGS and National Park Service sources. Diagrams explain their simplifications, and datasets state their dates. Saved experiments and checkpoint progress stay on the reader’s browser.
