    PebbleYard is a set of short practice topics for children aged 5 to 11, sequenced to the Australian Curriculum v9.0 with an ACARA reference on every topic. A parent chooses what their child works on and in what order, can write their own topics, and sees results that are graded on our servers and kept as a record.

    Who should choose which

    These are different kinds of help. Here is how to tell which one fits your family.

    Choose ABC Reading Eggs if

    • Your child is learning to read. A phonics sequence and a reading library are a different product from practice, and PebbleYard does not replace them.
    • Your children are aged 3 to 9 and you want early maths alongside reading.
    • You have up to four young children and want one flat price for all of them.

    Choose PebbleYard if

    • Your child is past learning to read and you want practice on what they are studying this week.
    • You want to choose the topics yourself, including ones you write.
    • You want a record of what each child has done, with results graded on our servers.
