The emails you get as a parent
Each school night, one short email names the exact skill that slipped. Once a week, a longer one sums up the week and adds a message for the tutor. Here are both, in full.
Invented children. Your emails name your own children and the skills they are on.
The nightly email
It comes each school night at 9:30 pm, or the time you pick. One email covers every child.
- How many questions each child did, how many were right and for how long.
- The skill that slipped, by name. The app teaches it again.
- Points earned, and a link to each child's work.
