Wishy Life Buddies: The Original Easter Tradition
Wishy Life Buddies: The Original Easter Tradition provides families with a fun, interactive family tradition during the Easter season. Children bring their ‘Buddy’ to life by naming him and sprinkling him with Wishy Dust. For a week, leading up to Easter Sunday the child will leave out an empty Easter egg in hopes their ‘Buddy’ will come and fill it with a special treat (note/scripture, money, candy, etc). On Easter Sunday ‘Buddy’ will leave but promises to return the following year to look after his new family and friends and to continue the tradition every year.
Children will learn the importance of doing good deeds and showing respect because ‘Buddy’ only rewards those who spread the Easter spirit.

Reader Bee’s First Story Maker
Reader Bee’s First Story Maker inspires tale-telling and jumpstarts kids spelling with the first-ever custom iPad keyboard for children called the Honeycomb Keyboard. The keyboard can be installed system-wide and used throughout the Apple iPad with in any application a keyboard is used.
Reader Bee’s First Story Maker is based on the Honeycomb Reading method, a basic approach that limits what is presented to the child, linking sounds, letters, words and stories in a step-by-step process. The Honeycomb Keyboard pairs pictures and letters, allowing children to begin reading with ease. The honeycomb array of letters enables emerging readers to easily swipe rhyming words (hat, cat, sat) and sight words (the, and, is) with one stroke.
The iPad app features more than 100 pictures that children can drag into stories and tap to make the word appear. For example, once a picture of an octopus is pulled into the story, tapping changes it magically into the spelled word ‘octopus.’ A child can also type words to be replaced by a picture to create a visual reinforcement of the word.
Reader Bee and the Story Tree
Reader Bee and the Story Tree is a game-changer for emerging readers. Young kids use the Honeycomb Reading Method to make reading consistent, simple and fun. The app sparks curiosity and builds confident, life-long readers.
Setting a new standard of quality, the app is both entertaining and engaging. Aligned to Common Core, children prepare for preschool and kindergarten with a jumpstart in reading. Reader Bee and the Story Tree is easy to use, so kids continue learning even when parents are too busy to play.
Through the unique Honeycomb Reading Method, kids learn to read at the simplest level. Reader Bee and the Story Tree moves kids through sets of letters, seven at a time, until they’re fluent with all the letters and sounds in the alphabet. Children hear seven sounds, trace seven letters and use these letters to form three-letter words. Then they see their words in stories and tap the words to see animations – all in a matter of minutes.
This quick progression is possible because the complexity of reading is removed – each letter has only one shape (lowercase) and one sound. Instead of getting discouraged, kids learn quickly and intuitively, turning words turn into stories.
