Translation

Tanabata is a festival held on July 7th.

On this day, people hang paper of many colors on bamboo and write their wishes.

In the night sky, you can see a river of stars called 'Amanogawa' (the Milky Way).

These two stars are called 'Orihime' and 'Hikoboshi'.

In the old story, the two stars meet once a year.

The night of Tanabata is very beautiful.

Why six school grades, and not N5–N1?

Because that is how Japanese children learn to read. Japan's Ministry of Education fixes exactly which character belongs to which grade — so "grade 3" is a boundary you can verify, not a feeling. Every article here is machine-checked: if a single character sits above its grade, it is not published.

The result: you never hit a character you have not learned. That is the whole reason this product exists.
