Children in grades 6-12 should be old enough to have their minds starting to think at a more adult level academically. A 6th grader is approximately 11-12 years old, entering puberty and their teenage years. If they’re given a passage of literature to read, but they have no goals, they’re more likely to skim quickly and not retain much information. If you can equip them with 5 simple questions to ask themselves as they read, they will have a purpose to learn the material and will be more likely to succeed. For example, what’s the point of the author’s message? What are some of the techniques that the author is using to help me understand the message that he is writing about? You can read all about these techniques in the book, “A Close Look at Close Reading”.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
