For parents
Honest reports. No guilt. No comparisons.
Each week's report tracks what your child worked on, what tripped them up, and what's next. No leaderboards. No streaks. No comparisons to other kids. You and your child both get to read it.
The week, written for you. (Pull-on-demand at launch; auto-emailed in v1.1.)
At launch you'll be able to pull a per-child PDF report from the parent portal anytime — XP, problems attempted, skill gaps, recent sessions. The polished weekly digest with minutes by state, mastery heatmap, win and stuck lists, and a next-week plan auto-emailed on Fridays is the v1.1 milestone — the long-form walk-through below is its spec.
Long-form walk-through of every section, including what we deliberately leave out: what's in the Friday parent digest.
Today: per-child dials. Soon: the heatmap and stuck list.
The portal opens in your browser and lives only on your home network. Per-child sensory dials, support flags, persona, and themes ship at launch; mastery heatmap, time-on-task minute breakdown, and a stuck-list view are on the roadmap.
- Ships at launchPer-child dials
Animation speed, volume, dyslexia font, focus-chunk length. Each child has their own. (Celebration-intensity dial is in the portal too; its runtime hookup arrives in a software update.)
- Ships at launchSupport flags + persona
Toggle ADHD, dyscalculia, dyslexia, dysgraphia, autism. Combine flags for twice-exceptional profiles. Edit Koda's voice and pace per child.
- RoadmapMastery heatmap
Topics in green/yellow/red. The skill-gaps API ships at launch; the heatmap UI arrives in a software update.
- RoadmapTime on task + stuck list
Daily and weekly minutes broken down by solving/stuck/reviewing/on break, plus a per-miss 'small idea' explanation. Targeted for v1.1.
Accommodations are first-class — not an add-on.
Set the support flag during enrollment and Koda picks safe defaults. You can change anything in the parent portal.
- ADHD
Set focus chunks from 5 to 25 minutes. When the timer ends, Koda offers a short break activity — stretch, breath, or doodle. Then a soft start back, on your child's terms.
- Dyscalculia
Longer focus chunks (15 minutes) for slower processing. Effort-based XP rewards the careful path. (Default-to-learning-mode and exam-disabled-by-default wiring arrive in a software update.)
- Dyslexia
Dyslexia-friendly font on by default. UI animations slow down (75% speed) so visuals are easier to track. Reading load drops without the tutor changing.
- Autism
Per-profile volume slider. Shorter focus chunks (10 minutes default). Set once, applied every session. (Animations-off and celebration-intensity dials — and the corresponding runtime hookup — arrive in a software update.)
- Dysgraphia
Dysgraphia flag in the parent portal at launch — toggle it at enrollment and Koda's defaults play together with the other flags (focus chunks, animations, celebration intensity). Voice answers — an alternative to writing on the worksheet — arrive in a software update; typed input is already how today's session takes the answer.
More on the ADHD piece: Math homework with ADHD — five traps and four moves. On dyscalculia: what dyscalculia actually is (and what Koda does for it).
Koda takes the pressure off — without putting it on you.
A lot of parents tell us they freeze at fractions. Koda is the tutor; you don't need to be. The parent report (downloadable from the portal at launch, auto-emailed in v1.1) tells you what your child is working on without asking you to teach it.
When Koda suggests a topic for next week, it's a suggestion, not an assignment. You can pause Koda for a weekend. You can switch worlds. You can mute the report digest once it ships. None of it judges you.
What math actually looks like at each age.
The cognitive shape of math changes a lot between Pre-K and middle school. We've written one post per band covering what's actually being learned, the specific slips kids make, and three concrete moves you can use when the pencil stops moving.
