Their progress, subject by subject
One board for each child: every subject and topic, every storybook with questions and every practice pack, marked on the first try.
What it is
Progress is a board for each child, built from every question they have answered in their storybooks and their practice packs. It opens on how many of the questions made for them they have answered, then reads three ways. By subject gives every subject a score, and a bar showing how much of it came from stories and how much from practice. By storybook and By practice pack list the ones they have answered, with how much is done and how it went, and Show switches to the rest.
Tap a subject and it opens into its topics, each with the curriculum standard it covers. Tap a topic and you see every storybook that asked about it and every practice pack they have started on it.
What it is for
A book they enjoyed tells you nothing about what they learned. The score here counts only the first try at each question, so getting it right on a second go does not lift it. A topic with fewer than five answers says too few to say instead of pretending to a percentage. When you hand them a storybook's questions again, the board shows the fresh attempt.
Above the three lists, Worth doing next picks out, from the topics with at least five answers, the one they are weakest at and the one they are best at so far, and counts the questions nobody has tried yet. You know what to do next without reading the whole board.
How to use it
- Tap Progress in the sidebar. It is a parent's page, and Kid Mode hides it.
- Choose the child from the Kid menu at the top, if you have more than one.
- Tap a subject under By subject to open its topics, then a topic to see the books and packs that asked about it.
- Tap Make a practice pack on a card under Worth doing next, to give them more on the topic they are weakest at.
- Tap See what is waiting for the books and packs nobody has started, and the Nudge button beside one to put it behind their Your turn door.
What we suggest
Open it after a book, not every day. One workbook is not a verdict, and a score moves about while a child is finding their feet. What is worth acting on is a subject that keeps sitting at the bottom, and the answer to that is the next book or pack built on its weakest topic.
