How the Right2Learn service supports parents and children at home

05 Feb 2010

In a nutshell, the Right2Learn service enables parents to directly support their children's learning and boost their performance in Maths and English. Parents may subscribe on a monthly basis to the service, and stop whenever they wish. Access allows parents to deliver a series of bite size assessments at home to their child, via the internet.

The online Maths and English assessments are visually stimulating for children and read out by a human voice. On average they take about 15 minutes to complete, and are automatically marked. Children can immediately see which questions they answered correctly, and parents can then access learning notes designed by teachers, to develop their child's learning, and conduct further practice. A series of reports then highlight to the parent the areas for further learning.

The key benefits of the service are that they provide parents with their own ability to quickly identify their child's needs and start addressing them. This helps raise children's confidence, and they tend to find the process more fun than paper based tests. Regular feedback from parents confirms that the service also raises their confidence about their child's learning and increases their ability to have an influence.  This also provides parents with information they can share with the child's school, for example in parent evening discussions.
