Help at home, without making it homework.
You do not need to be a teacher. Short, regular, enjoyable things help most: reading together, talking, and practising a little. Here is where to start, whatever your child's age or home language.
Start here
Reading at home
How to listen to your child read, how to read aloud to them, and what to do when they would rather not.
Home languages and EAL
English is not the only language that matters. Keep using yours.
SEND and reading access
Where to start if you worry about dyslexia or another need, and how to make reading easier to see.
What to do at home, year by year
Each year page ends with three simple things to do at home, and says what the school is teaching that year.
Free practice for children
Everything here is free, with no login and no tracking. Children's progress stays on their own device. The practice pages for younger children are designed to be used with a grown-up nearby.
Our promise to families
- No account, no email address and no payment.
- No analytics or advertising trackers. Scores and stickers stay in the browser on your own device.
- External links on children's pages ask a grown-up first.
If you find something that breaks this promise, please tell us: hello@litlings.com.
