Learning needs
Maths and English practice that fits the child, not the other way round
Every child gets a learning-needs profile. Tick what applies and the app changes what is on screen, what is read aloud and how sessions are paced — no streaks, no timers, one question at a time, a breather between short chunks, hands-on maths where it helps. You can see and change every switch, and print a plain-English learning report for SENCO, EHCP or IEP conversations.
Guides
- ADHDAttention comes and goes, and a 20-minute worksheet can feel like an hour. Short chunks, one task on screen and a clear finish line usually do more than any reward chart.
- AutismPredictability matters. The same layout every time, no surprise celebrations, a known number of questions, and a plain explanation rather than a cheerful one.
- DyslexiaReading the question is often the hard part, not the maths or the idea behind it. Take the reading load away first, then see what the child can really do.
- DyscalculiaNumbers do not 'feel' like amounts yet, so counting, place value and number bonds need to be seen and handled, not just written. Small, concrete, repeated — with no timer anywhere.
- AnxietyStreaks, coins and 'x of y right' can turn practice into a performance. Take the scoreboard away and the questions become just questions again.
- Auditory processing (APD)Spoken instructions get lost; written ones stick. Give every instruction in writing as well as sound, and keep each screen to one idea.
- Gifted / twice-exceptionalBoredom looks like misbehaviour. Let the child work above their year in the subject they race ahead in, without forcing the other subject up with it.
What the app does for every child
- Placement per subject, and a working level you can pin above or below the year group.
- When a topic is hard, the session re-teaches, then warms up on the prerequisite, then parks it — it never repeats the same question ten times.
- Nothing the child sees ever goes down: stars only go up, and there is no “x out of y” score.
- A tutor that explains the child’s own mistake, in British English, in numbered steps — with one “explain it a different way”.
- Read-aloud, dyslexia-friendly font, coloured overlay, larger text and reduced motion.
