How credits work
A credit is a word practised. Credits pay for the practice itself; looking at how your child is doing is always free.
This is what's coming. Right now every account still runs on the current 100 credits a month, which renews automatically - nothing changes for you yet.
200 creditsfree when you join
That is about 100 practice words - a couple of weeks of typical practice, or a term for a family who dips in now and then. They stay live as long as your child keeps practising; they lapse after 90 days without a session.
What costs credits
| Activity | Credits |
|---|---|
| Practice - Pick it, Type it, Write it, Say it, Trace it | 2 a word |
| Look, hear & remember · Word Parts · Word Meanings | 1 a word |
| Skills Check | 10 a test |
| Dictation test or Paper practice - one photo, up to 15 words, marked for you | 10 a sheet |
| Handwriting formation scoring on a paper photo | +2 |
| A picture hint for a word | 5 |
| AI coach tips on the report · reading a list from a photo · generating a list | 2 |
Practice is charged when a session starts, for the words queued. Stop early and the words you never reached are refunded. A child is never stopped mid-word.

- Every game - they're unlocked with the coins your child earns by practising
- Adding children, adding and pasting lists, the preset lists, the weekly plan

Who pays
Credits come from the account that added the child. If a tutor set your child up on their account, their tutor allowance covers the practice; if you added your child, your household's credits do. Tutor accounts get a free monthly allowance, and tutors can hand out codes to the families they work with - enter one under Manage settings in the app.
Have a code? Open the app, go to Manage settings and enter it under Credits & codes. Questions? Get in touch.
