Homework help in 1st grade (CP), without screens or evening battles
In CP (the French 1st grade, age 6) children learn to read, write and count, and discover homework. KAÏDO, a screen-free voice companion, supports them at home: it helps them understand the instructions and search by themselves, without ever giving the answer.
Short homework, a huge milestone
First grade is the year everything begins: reading, writing, first sums. Homework is short (re-reading a page of syllables, reviewing sight words, counting to 20) but it lands at the worst time of day: in the evening, when your child is tired and you are making dinner.
That is exactly the moment KAÏDO calms down. Your child presses the sphere, reads the instructions aloud, and KAÏDO walks them through it, with a caring voice and the light on the sides of the sphere that cheers them on.
How KAÏDO supports a 1st-grade exercise
1
Your child asks their question
One press to activate KAÏDO, then they read their instructions or question aloud: “Kaïdo, I have to re-read this page but I’m stuck on a word”.
2
KAÏDO guides with questions
KAÏDO rephrases, breaks the difficulty down and asks the question that moves things forward: “Do you recognise the first sound of this word?”. Never the answer: the path to it.

They find it, and the light celebrates
When the child finds it on their own, the sides of the sphere light up and KAÏDO encourages them. The pride of succeeding alone is what builds confidence in 1st grade.
Reading, writing, first sums: what KAÏDO supports in 1st grade
KAÏDO is designed for the primary-school years (ages 6-11) and adapts its guidance to a 6-year-old: short sentences, patience, frequent encouragement.
- Re-reading a page and unlocking a difficult word, sound by sound.
- Reviewing sight words and first syllable dictations.
- Counting, breaking down small numbers, understanding a first addition problem.
- Reciting a rhyme or a poem without skipping a line.
Zero screens. One hundred percent attention.
And you, meanwhile?
You stay in the loop without sitting beside them. The parent app gives you a weekly picture: what was worked on, what caused difficulty, which notions to review. Not a surveillance dashboard: just what you need to step in at the right time.
And because this is your 6-year-old: no screen, no open-ended chat, GDPR-compliant data, never sold or used for advertising. KAÏDO is designed in France.
Your questions about 1st-grade homework
How long should homework take in 1st grade?
In French primary school, written homework is officially not required: evenings are mostly for reading and lessons. 10 to 20 minutes are enough in 1st grade: a short, calm moment beats a long, tense session.
Can my 6-year-old use KAÏDO alone?
Yes: one press on the sphere and they talk, KAÏDO answers. No screen, no menus, no reading required to use it. You can also prepare the session from the app by photographing the exercise.
Does KAÏDO give the answer when my child is stuck?
No, never. KAÏDO breaks the difficulty down and asks simpler questions until the child finds it on their own. From the app, you adjust the level of guidance: more or fewer hints, never the answer.
Do we need a screen or a tablet?
No. KAÏDO is a screen-free sphere: everything happens through voice and light. Your child keeps their notebook, their pen and their full attention.
