There is very little time left before the start of the school year, and parents can easily review school material with their child at home. A neural network will help explain a complex topic, compose a dictation or give a quiz, and free educational platforms will give tasks according to the school curriculum, El.kz reports. First, find out what the child forgot. The main mistake when preparing for school is trying to repeat everything. It is much more effective to first identify the gaps that have appeared over the summer and deal with them. You can start with an electronic diary and last year's grades. If a child does well in reading but has difficulty with math, it is better to devote several lessons to specific topics that were more difficult. © from the El.kz archive A neural network can be turned into a home teacher. A parent does not have to remember the school rules himself. You can open ChatGPT on the free plan and ask it to explain the topic, taking into account the child’s age and the program of Kazakhstan. In 2026, the free version supports text processing, Internet search, file and image analysis, but the number of queries and the availability of certain functions is limited. The most important thing in the
dew lies in specifics. Instead of the phrase “explain fractions,” it is better to write what grade the child goes to, what topic he forgot and how it needs to be explained. For example, you can write like this: “You are a teacher in a primary school in Kazakhstan. Explain to a child entering fourth grade how to add fractions with like denominators. Use simple examples from everyday life. After the explanation, give three tasks without answers and check the child’s solutions.” After this, the child must solve the tasks himself and send answers to the chat. The neural network will be able to parse errors and explain the specific place where the problem arose. A dictation is created in a few seconds. Using AI, you can prepare an individual dictation. The parent just needs to indicate the class, the required rule and the approximate amount of text. For example, a request might look like this: “Compose a dictation for a student who is going to the fifth grade of a Kazakh school. The text should be about summer holidays in Kazakhstan. Include words based on the unstressed vowels and paired consonants being tested. After the dictation, give me three questions to test your understanding of the text.” After writing the dictation, the child can independently recheck the work together with the neural network. It's even more useful to ask the AI to check first
Write mistakes without correct options so that the student tries to correct them on his own. Take mathematics step by step. If a child has forgotten how to solve a problem, the neural network can be asked not to produce a ready-made answer. This mode is especially useful for parents who have already forgotten school mathematics. The request can be formulated as follows: “Help the child solve this problem. Don't give the answer right away. First, explain what is known from the condition, then ask the child a question about the first action. After his answer, continue with the solution. If he makes a mistake, explain the mistake in simple terms.” This format forces the child to reason independently. In this case, the AI plays the role of an assistant who suggests the next step. Make a game out of your activities. For younger students, instead of a regular test, you can arrange a quiz. The neural network is capable of asking questions one at a time, accepting answers and changing the difficulty of tasks depending on the result. For example, to review learning about the world, you could write: “Give me a quiz for a third grade student. Ask one question about nature and Kazakhstan. After each answer, explain why it is correct or incorrect. Don't show the next question
os until I answer.” You can improve your Kazakh language for free. There are separate Kazakh resources for language practice. One of these is Soyle.kz. The platform has audio and video, a dictionary, a grammar guide, testing and a separate section for children. soyle.kz For younger children there is Bala.soyle.kz. The project is designed for a children's audience and allows you to study through game materials, words, cartoons and other tasks. bala.soyle.kz The neural network can be used here as an additional interlocutor. For example, ask her to conduct a short dialogue in Kazakh, correct the child’s mistakes and explain unfamiliar words in Russian. Textbooks from Kazakhstan are also available online. Before preparing, it is better to check exactly the textbook that the child will study from. This is especially important when working with a neural network, since it may explain a topic from a different educational program or use terminology that differs from Kazakhstan. A catalog of electronic textbooks for grades one to eleven is available on OKULYK.KZ. It presents Russian and Kazakh languages, mathematics, history of Kazakhstan, natural science, physics, chemistry and other school subjects. okulyk.
kz There is also BilimLand, where interactive lessons, electronic textbooks, simulators and additional materials are posted. The current version of the platform continues to be updated in 2026, and the content of individual sections is tied to the Kazakhstan curriculum. bilimland.kz What to do with mathematics without a tutor For additional practice, you can use Khan Academy. The platform remains free and is available in Russian and Kazakh, however, both localizations are demo versions, so the amount of translated material is limited. The platform continues to expand localized content, so it makes sense to use it as a complementary resource, especially for math. khanacademy.org How to practice so that your child really learns A neural network can prepare hundreds of tasks, but quantity alone does not produce results. It is better to choose a few weak topics and return to them regularly, gradually increasing the complexity. A useful diagram looks simple. First, the child independently completes the diagnostic task, then, together with the AI, analyzes the errors, after which he receives a new exercise on the same topic. In this case, it is enough for the parent to monitor the process and ask questions. D
Even if an adult himself does not remember the school curriculum well, he does not have to become a teacher: his task is to ensure that the child actually completes the tasks and understands the explanation. © from the El.kz archive What queries can be saved? For reading, the following query is suitable: “Give your child a short text to read for age... years. After reading, ask comprehension questions, ask him to retell the text and evaluate what details he missed.” To review before school: “Make up a diagnostic mini-test for a child who is moving to the next grade in a Kazakh school. Check the previous year's main topics for the main subjects. After each answer, identify a weak topic and offer one additional task.” What is important for parents to remember: AI is capable of making mistakes. Even if the explanation seems convincing, it is better to check controversial rules, dates, definitions and assignments with the current school textbook. You should be especially careful about information about the Kazakhstan program. You should not delegate the entire homework to a neural network. If a child simply copies ready-made solutions, preparation turns into a formality and does not show what knowledge was actually preserved after the holidays. Pros
This scheme for the remaining days. In the first days, you can conduct a diagnosis and select weak topics. Then alternate reading, math and language practice several times a week, each time leaving the child the opportunity to complete the task independently. A few days before the start of classes, it is useful to check how well the child copes without prompting. If he reads independently, solves basic problems and can explain the basic rules, the intensity of training can be reduced and the focus can be on returning to the usual routine. © illustration by AI The main idea of such preparation is the combination of three tools. The textbook helps you adhere to the Kazakhstan curriculum, educational platforms provide ready-made practice, and the neural network explains what was difficult for the child to understand the first time. In this format, it is enough for an adult to organize the process, and most of the routine preparation can be transferred to digital tools.
