We’re thrilled to announce an exciting milestone for Yeti Confetti Kids! Our platform now supports 12 primary native languages to help English Second Language (ESL) learners master English literacy, fluency, and verbal reasoning. By leveraging the power of translanguaging, an evidence-based strategy, Yeti Confetti ensures every child can learn and thrive in their own unique way.

‍

Introducing Our Supported Native Languages:

Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, German, French, Arabic, Tamil, Hindi, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian, and English.

These languages were carefully chosen to reflect the diversity of global classrooms and communities. Whether it’s a child in Hong Kong, a native Cantonese speaker learning math concepts in English for the first time in first grade, or a student in Beirut navigating lessons in Arabic and English, Yeti Confetti is there to bridge the language gap with empathy and precision.

Why Translanguaging Works

Translanguaging is a proven method that empowers learners by blending their native language with English. It builds confidence, encourages critical thinking, and creates a seamless learning experience. According to IES Research on translanguaging, this approach helps students make connections between concepts, fostering deeper understanding and mastery.

How Yeti Confetti Delivers Learning Excellence

Yeti Confetti’s AI-driven platform takes translanguaging to the next level. Here’s how:

  1. Personalized Explanations: Our AI offers bilingual, step-by-step guidance for both ELA and Math problems, ensuring students grasp concepts in their native language before transitioning to English.
  2. Encouragement in Context: Yeti acts as a friendly, multilingual coach, boosting students’ confidence with real-time support and feedback.
  3. Adaptive Learning: Lessons are tailored to each learner’s pace, reinforcing strengths and addressing challenges.

These features have already shown measurable success. Our recent pilots in refugee camps demonstrated a 0.5 grade level uplift in English literacy and math scores, while bilingual immersion school programs yielded a 1.28 grade level improvement in WIDA ELD assessments!

In addition, Yeti Confetti provides teachers with AI literacy training and professional development sessions to help them seamlessly use the Teacher Copilot to plan targeted ELA programming, support blended offline/online learning, and maximize instructional impact. Our platform also includes R&D breakthroughs, enabling schools to customize the AI model to deliver bespoke curriculum, instructional methods, or learning objectives at any time.

What’s Next?

As we prepare to launch with schools across Hong Kong, Lebanon, New York City, Thailand, and more in 3 continents, we’re excited to continue scaling Yeti Confetti’s capabilities. Our vision is to reach every child, in every corner of the world, with an equitable, high-quality learning solution.

Let’s make education truly inclusive—one language, one learner, one step at a time. 🌟
