Designed on evidence, not assumptions

Every design decision follows what research shows about how children learn, including evidence-based practice for learners with disabilities.

Visual first

Many children learn best through what they see. Every exercise leads with pictures and printed words, never spoken instructions alone.

Short and focused

Exercises are brief, visually anchored, and one idea at a time. They work with each child's memory and attention, not against them.

Small steps, celebrated

Progress in small increments matters. Wingu Soma tracks and celebrates every gain, not just the milestones.

Personalized and age-appropriate

Each child works at their own level and pace, with content that always respects their age, and expectations that stay high for every learner.

Four literacy modules, one clear path

Wingu Soma uses reading as a tool to build spoken language, from first sight words to full stories, with each child progressing along their own path. Every exercise is available in English and Swahili.

1

Sight words

Build a recognition vocabulary from high-frequency words, each paired with a picture and audio in English and Swahili.

Phonics

Letter sounds and phoneme groups taught visually, matched to words the child already recognises.

Sentence reading

Three-, four- and five-word sentences with supporting images, growing in difficulty at the child's pace.

Sentence stories

Short illustrated stories that turn reading into conversation: the bridge from written words to spoken language.

Mama na Zawadi wanaenda shambani…

Built for classrooms and whole schools

Students learn on their own devices in sessions guided by their teacher, and everyone from teacher to principal sees progress at the right level of detail.

Guided live sessions

Teachers run each session, assigning exercises to individual students in real time as they watch how the class is doing.

Picture login for students

No passwords for children. Students sign in by finding their own photo and name on their device.

Personalized by AI, guided by teachers

After each exercise, AI summarises how the student did and suggests what to try next for that child. Teachers add their own notes alongside.

Goals that follow the child

Term and academic-year goals per student, tracked against real exercise results and visible at every review.

Dashboards for every role

Teachers see their classes; head teachers their departments; principals their school; administrators every school. Each role gets the KPIs that matter to them.

Bilingual by design

English and Swahili content side by side, with AI-assisted translation reviewed and approved by humans before it reaches a child.
