ELIO EDU: picture books and first lessons for young children
ELIO EDU is a Korean learning service for young children. With Elio the otter, a child works through short English, math and Korean (Hangul) play lessons and reads original English picture books together with a grown-up.
The rest of this site is in Korean. This page states the same facts in English. Numbers were counted from ELIO EDU build 1.0.0. We have published no ratings, reviews, awards, user counts or learning-outcome claims.
What is on this site?
- Picture books: 74 original English picture books, free to read on the web, each with a free printable PDF. The book list shows the full English text of every book.
- Play lessons: English, math and Korean (Hangul), 834 stages in all. A child listens and chooses, or moves things on the screen to make an answer.
Who is it for?
The core play lessons are beginner activities for ages 4 to 7, and units toward age 8 are being added. The picture-book course is organised by age from 1 to 12; 869 daily lessons are ready today, and the planned 365 days per age are not complete. Age labels are course names, not a developmental assessment.
What does it cost?
Nothing is sold on the web. The picture books and their PDFs are free. The play lessons on the web are a free taste: the first place of each subject.
The whole course is a subscription in the ELIO EDU app: KRW 9,900 per month or KRW 59,000 per year, VAT included. Payment, cancellation and refunds are handled by Google Play or the App Store. See the terms of service.
What happens to a child's data?
No sign-up is needed to start. A parent account is optional: a parent signs in with a code sent by email (no password), and children never sign in. A child's records are stored on the device, in the app or the browser. If a parent signs in to an account in the app and turns on record sync, the records are also kept on ELIO's servers and the family's devices (for example a tablet and a phone) stay in step. Without that, nothing is sent to the servers. A parent can also save a backup file and load it on another device. A free profile covers one child; a subscription allows up to four. ELIO carries no ads and no analytics tools. Details are in the privacy policy, which has a summary in English.
How is it made?
The stories and sentences of the picture books are original to ELIO EDU, not copied from existing works. Narration, pictures, music and video in the lessons include material made with AI tools. A child's voice is never recorded.
