Everything a parent needs to support their child

The Parent Dashboard gives you a full view of your child's learning — anytime, anywhere.

📊

Progress Reports

Weekly bar charts, practice-day summaries, thumbs-up/down ratings, and full session history — all at a glance.

🎓

National Curriculum Tracking

See exactly which EYFS, KS1, and KS2 objectives your child has covered across English, Maths, Science, and Citizenship.

✅

Tasks & Goals

Set daily and weekly targets per subject, add homework tasks, and tick them off as they're completed.

😊

Mood Log

Your child checks in with how they're feeling each session — you can see mood trends and which subjects suit them best.

🎤

Reading Recordings

Listen back to your child's read-aloud sessions. A precious record of fluency growth over time.

📚

Reading List

Log books your child has read with ratings and personal notes — shareable with their teacher.

⭐

Star Awards

Award stars for effort, great reading, or any achievement. Children see stars appear in their app instantly.

🏫

Teacher Summary Export

One-tap shareable report covering levels, activities, recordings, badges, streaks, and reading lists.

👤

Child Profiles

Manage multiple children, customise avatars, set year groups, and tailor learning preferences per child.

🧩 Designed for every learner

Built with SEND learners in mind

TraceTales was designed from the ground up for children with autism, dyslexia, and additional learning needs — as well as every other child in between.

🔤

Dyslexia-friendly fonts

Rounded, clear typography reduces visual stress and improves reading comfort.

🎨

High-contrast mode

Boost contrast across the entire app with a single toggle in Accessibility settings.

✏️

Handwriting scaffolding

Trace-guided letter and word practice with adjustable difficulty levels.

🎤

Voice recording

Children record themselves reading aloud — building confidence and fluency at their own pace.

🌟

Positive reinforcement

Stars, badges, and animal companions reward effort — not just outcomes.

🎛️

Fully customisable

Parents can adjust text size, reduce animations, and personalise every child's experience.

Meet the Characters

Six collectible companions join your child on their learning journey. Each one is earned by reaching milestones.
