A Peek Inside the Lesson

This is the real lesson text your child hears, read aloud by a friendly voice.

A right is something every person should have or be able to do.

Children everywhere have rights: to learn, to be safe, to play and to be heard.

A responsibility is something you should do, like doing homework or being kind.

Rights and responsibilities go together. If I have the right to be heard, I should listen to others too.
