About Ollie's Keeper Call

Ollie the otter admires a medal, pulls on the keeper shirt, and tries goalkeeping for game day. A rolling shot skims through the grass, then water, wind, and team calls help him learn. At sunset he makes a big center save, and the whole team cheers beside a silver cup trophy.

Words your child will hear and say

Every scene hides two tappable pictures. Tap one and it says its word out loud, then it is your child's turn.

How to read it together

Start at the right level

Level 1 is single words for early talkers. Level 2 is short phrases. Level 3 is full storybook sentences. Switch any time, even mid-scene — the art stays put and only the language changes.

Let them find the words

Two glowing spots hide in every scene. Tap one, hear the word, then pause and wait — the wait is where your child's turn happens.

Session-ready

Therapist mode mutes the narration and lays out each scene's target words with their speech-sound tags, so a clinician models and elicits every word live.
