Everyone is racing to teach kids AI literacy. Almost no one is asking what has to come before it.

AI literacy frameworks typically begin around age 8 — and rightly so. They focus on skills: how AI works, how to use it, how to evaluate it. But the years before age 8 are not a waiting room. They are the prime years.

In those years, children form the foundations that make later AI literacy possible at all: the vocabulary to question AI, the cognitive sense-making to grasp what it is and is not, the early trust calibration that becomes healthy scepticism, the socio-ethical awareness to notice unfairness, and the empathic attunement that keeps human relationships primary.

We call this AI Pre-Literacy — “pre” as in prime, not before. And we’ve built 12 free games for ages 3–8 to help.
