Lernwichtel

Learning Elf helps families teach children to read, write, and learn basic numbers
based on the Montessori method: using sounds (not letter names),
in a calm and collaborative way.

Learning Elf isn't a screen babysitter. The app shows parents step by step
how to guide their child—with guided mini-lessons (three-period lesson), letter tracing, a movable alphabet, quantities to count—and regularly sends you out into the real world (photo treasure hunt, counting objects).

Everything grows at the child's pace: their own name becomes the goal, and new areas
unlock as the basics are mastered.

Photo treasure hunt: If you want to keep a found item, the app asks for permission beforehand. The photos are only stored on the device, never leave it, and can be deleted at any time.

Our values:

• Free & open source – by a community for all children

• No ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases

• Offline – all data stays on the device

• Photos stay local – nothing is uploaded

• Calm design: no music, no reward loops

For preschoolers and beginning readers (approx. 4-7 years old).
