Knowva gives children more than one way to learn in one safe, child-friendly place. Some children like to watch first. Some prefer to read with support. Some enjoy quick facts, while others build confidence through calm, focused practice.
This page brings Knowva’s main features together in one place, so you can quickly see what each one does and choose the best starting point for your child. If your child already has a favourite topic, you can also browse Knowva’s learning hubs to explore subject areas such as animals, countries, space, sport, and more.
Whether your child is building reading confidence, loves visual explanation, enjoys bite-sized facts, or needs a calmer homework experience, each feature supports a different part of the learning journey.

Knowva Reads
Knowva Reads adds read-along support to selected content, helping children follow the words on screen while listening at the same time. It gives developing readers another way into topics they are curious about, without expecting them to tackle everything independently from the start.
Best for children who like: being read to, listening while they learn, building reading confidence, and exploring topics with a little more support.
Knowva Videos
Knowva Videos give children a visual way to understand a topic through child-friendly educational video content. They are especially helpful for children who like to see ideas come to life before reading more deeply or moving into wider topic exploration.
Best for children who like: visual learning, real-world examples, watching before reading, and discovering new topics through video.
Knowva Challenges
Knowva Challenges are calm, focused learning activities designed to help children practise key skills and reinforce what they have learned. They give children a useful next step after reading, watching, or exploring a topic, without turning practice into noisy screen time.
Best for children who like: short activities, quick wins, practising what they know, building confidence, and learning through gentle repetition.
Knowva’s Daily Fact
Knowva’s Daily Fact gives children one short, interesting fact each day to spark curiosity and encourage regular learning. It is a simple but powerful way to create a daily learning habit and open the door to wider topic exploration.
Best for children who like: quick facts, everyday learning moments, asking follow-up questions, and discovering something new without feeling overwhelmed.
Ad-free learning
One of Knowva’s most important features is what it leaves out. There are no adverts competing for attention, no clutter pushing children away from the task in front of them, and no noisy distractions getting in the way of learning.
Best for families who want: safer homework research, calmer screen time, fewer distractions, and a more focused place for curiosity to grow.
How to choose the best feature to start with
Some children already know how they like to learn. Others need a gentler entry point. If your child is building reading confidence, Knowva Reads may be the best place to begin. If they are drawn to visual explanation, Knowva Videos can help them engage with a topic before moving into written content.
If your child enjoys short, manageable learning moments, Daily Fact can become an easy daily habit. If they benefit from repetition and active practice, Knowva Challenges offer a useful next step. If your main priority is a calmer, safer online experience, Knowva’s ad-free setup may be the feature that matters most from the start.
How Knowva’s features work together
Knowva works best when its features support each other. A child might start with a Daily Fact, move into a full topic, use Knowva Reads for support, watch a related video, and then reinforce what they have learned through a Challenge.
That joined-up experience gives children more than one way to understand the same subject. If your child already has a strong interest in a particular area, you can also browse Knowva’s Categories hub to choose a topic-based route into learning.
