Parent scans textbook pages and has Gemini make quizzes and spelling drills for the kids

What they did

They scan textbook pages and ask Gemini for multiple-choice quizzes, or make an audio overview in NotebookLM. For grammar, Gemini writes a text full of spelling mistakes for the kids to correct, or a dictation text with the errors kids usually make, based on what they're studying in other subjects like history or physics. They also ask it for advice on helping a child with something difficult, and the older child asks Gemini to explain things they didn't understand.

How it went

They describe it as very useful, especially because one practice text can cover spelling and another subject at the same time.

Worth knowing

• Check the answers in the quizzes against the textbook, since AI can get facts wrong. Younger kids should use it with a parent nearby.
• Price check: Google Gemini: free plan; Google AI Plus: US$4.99/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).
