Questions

Who is it for?

Children and adults learning English at home: young children starting to read, pupils working on spelling, and anyone who wants steady read-aloud and listening practice with a record of progress.

How long does it last?

6 months from the day it is switched on. There is no automatic renewal, so nothing is charged again.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Create a free account and try the first steps of ReadUp, First Words and Dictation before you pay.

Is it for one child or several?

One account is for one learner, so each child has their own progress. Parents can use the email address of the account to get the weekly summary.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, on phones, tablets and computers. ReadUp uses the microphone, so allow it when asked.

GTB Homeschool brings three English practice tools into one pass for families who learn at home. GTB ReadUp trains reading fluency with read-aloud texts and measures words a minute and accuracy. GTB First Words teaches early readers aged 4 to 7 with letters, sounds, words and stories. GTB Dictation trains spelling, listening and short-term memory with sentences that are spoken, shown and then hidden. Progress from all three appears on one student dashboard, and a weekly email summarises the week.
