English is fun!
KNB focuses on natural learning processes. This means that your kids learn English in a way that is aligned with the way we are wired to learn language. This makes it not only easy to learn but the dopamine rush of acquiring a new skill keeps your kids motivated!

I got this!
KNB is all about using English in the real world. Each book has a mini adventure that the kids can go on to help them put into practice what they have learnt. These are easy to implement and allow the kids to mimic the characters in the book. It is this real world application that brings home the learning for your kids!
