Openers

The Echo Check

Your kid just finished a lesson, video, or reading and you want to see what actually stuck.

The Cold Open

You're about to start a new topic and the energy is flat.

The Brain Dump

Your kid is overwhelmed, staring at a blank page, paralyzed by how much there is to do.

The Prediction Drop

Before a new lesson and you want your kid invested before you've said a word.

The Connection Bridge

Your kid says "Why do I need to know this?"

The Real World Hook

You need to show that an abstract skill actually gets used by adults.

The Personal Stake

The topic feels neutral to your kid and there's no reason for them to care.

The Pattern Spot

Your kid is reading a list item by item instead of seeing it as a whole.
