Children are growing up surrounded by digital technology. They may encounter AI-generated pictures, videos, messages and answers before they fully understand how these tools work.
Age-appropriate AI literacy helps children build healthy habits, including asking questions, recognizing that technology can make mistakes and checking information with trusted adults.
Learning Beyond the Screen
Printable and paper-based activities give children opportunities to slow down, reflect and practice reasoning skills without needing to interact with an AI system.
Families can use activity time to start conversations about technology, creativity and responsible decision-making.
The Marcus & Byte Learning Approach
STOP: Pause before accepting or sharing information.
THINK: Consider the clues and ask whether something makes sense.
CHECK: Verify information with a reliable source or trusted adult.
These three steps help make critical thinking understandable for young children.
Who Is the Workbook For?
The workbook is designed for children ages 5–9 and may be useful for parents, homeschool families, caregivers and elementary educators looking for ways to introduce AI literacy.
It can also complement classroom conversations about digital citizenship, technology and information literacy.
