Four full Vernac Books experiences. On the house.
We don't believe in watered-down demos. Play the actual game. Turn the pages of the actual book. Print the actual flashcards. If you love what you see, the rest of the catalogue is here when you need it.
My Body — English & isiZulu
Twenty cards. Ten matches. Find every body part in English and its isiZulu pair. The game speaks each word aloud as you find it.
Play now →My Body — English page-turner
The complete eight-page reader, illustration and text, page-turn animation. The same book a Grade 1 learner would open in their first reading lesson.
Read now →My Body — Flashcard PDF
Ten cards, English on one side, isiZulu on the other. Print at home on card stock, cut, and play. The same pack a school would receive laminated.
Download PDF →My Day — Drag the scenes
Six scenes from the story, shuffled. Drag them into the correct order. Each scene speaks its line aloud in your chosen language when placed correctly. Tests comprehension, not just words.
Play now →South African Foundation Phase reading outcomes are among the lowest measured globally. The root cause is mother-tongue access. We'd rather you see what proper mother-tongue learning looks like — in a real lesson — than read another paragraph from us about why it matters. Four samples. Free. Yours. The catalogue is here when you're ready.
