ZenKats Academy is an independent, teacher-led education project creating carefully designed learning resources for young learners. Our work supports early literacy, language development, and confident understanding for children in international and state school settings, including those learning English as an additional language.
All content is produced in UK English and shaped by real classroom experience. ZenKats resources are designed to reduce cognitive overload, helping children focus on meaning, comprehension, and confidence rather than speed or stimulation.
ZenKats Academy is guided by a small set of core principles:
- Calm over stimulation
- Depth over speed
- Teacher-led design
- Child-centred values
- Thoughtful use of digital media
These principles inform every resource we create.
ZenKats Academy is currently growing. Over time, resources will include:
- Printable PDF learning resources
- Guided reading and comprehension activities
- Paired audio narration
- Calm, teacher-led video content
Access to materials will be offered through a subscription model in the future.
ZenKats Academy exists to create learning spaces — digital and printed — where children can slow down, engage deeply, and build confidence step by step.
While we’re busy creating lovely new content, here is our first ZenKats Readers video — a calm introduction to the quality and approach you can expect from us.
