Our kids will learn concepts of math and science very differently than all of us. MeMeTales will be at the center of this massive change. We are doing 3 things at MeMeTales: 1. We give kids access to several stories with audio & rich content 2. We make reading fun, kids get points and stickers 3. We make stories and books exciting with related games that foster learning.
