How to use it

Work through the first program together, one line or arrow at a time. Use a pencil so changes are easy to make. It is pitched at the expected level for Kindergarten, for practice after the skill has been taught.

An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.

Tip for grown-ups: Let your child move a coin or finger square by square for each arrow.

Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
