Bamboo Learning is the 1st comprehensive learning program for children in grades K–5 on Alexa. With up to 6 users per family, Bamboo Learning brings together all of the great exercises and content from our award-winning Alexa skills—Bamboo Math, Bamboo Books & Bamboo English—in a fun game-like experience. Bamboo Learning reflects standard US K–5 curriculum. Bamboo Learning includes math, phonics, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, listening comprehension with 20 free and 30 subscription-based audiobooks (with more added each month).
Bamboo Learning now includes a human-narrated Panda to welcome kids to Bamboo Learning each day, praise them for correct answers, and gently nudge them to try again, if they're incorrect. Panda also celebrates their accomplishments; children earn Bamboo tokens (complete with sound effects), which keeps kids interested in returning to learn more using Bamboo Learning’s self-paced activities. Images and text are available for Echo Show & Fire TV products.
BOOKS & LISTENING COMPREHENSION
Bamboo Learning offers 20 free and 30 subscription-based books for kids to listen to and follow along with words and pictures on screen-based Alexa devices like Echo Show and Fire TV. New books will be added each month as part of the Bamboo Learning Plus subscription.
Please see "What's New" section or our website for a full list of books.
Bamboo Learning listening comprehension exercises incorporate questions into 50 narrated books (as of May 2021) for grades K–5. These exercises help children improve their ability to understand elements of the books, including characters, plot, and details. Listening skills are key to improving reading and writing. On screen-based Alexa devices, text and pictures enhance the experience.
LANGUAGE ARTS
Bamboo Learning Language Arts program follows the curriculum used in the majority of elementary schools throughout the US, including thousands of phonics, spelling, grammar, and vocabulary exercises in the form of word games. Examples include:
Phonics: Which word rhymes with BOUNCE – ANNOUNCE or BEHIND? (Grade 2)

MATH
Bamboo Learning Math offers tens of millions of math problems for kids in grades K–5, with 3 learning modules – Numbers (e.g., counting), Operations (+, -, x, ÷), and Measurement, Time, & Money. Problems feature a fun mix of animals (e.g., tarantulas, octopuses, penguins) & objects (e.g., flashlights, alarm clocks, umbrellas). Children with screen-based Alexa devices see images that enhance the experience. Examples include:
Numbers: What number goes between 6 and 8? (Kindergarten)
