The grown-ups' page shows what was learned, what was hard, and what comes next.

26 courses and 1,866 levels, built on Georgia's state standards, plus 56 read-along stories. Every question can be read aloud for early readers.
See what they're learning
- Every level passed, with stars and how many tries it took
- The questions your child missed, and the answer they gave
- How much time was spent learning each day
- Assign a level, a story, or practice for today
- A printable progress report
Sign in with Google to keep progress on every device, then link your child's tablet with a short code. Your child never needs an account.
Open the grown-ups' page →What's free
Everything on Ladderling is free while we're in beta. You don't need to enter any payment details.
Later, a paid Family plan will cover the full Learning Path for every grade, saving across devices, and the full grown-ups' reports. Some of Ladderling will always be free, it will never have ads, and nothing your child has already done will be taken away.
A safer place to learn
Unlike video sites and app stores, there's no endless feed and nothing to buy. Just lessons, stories, and games a grown-up can control.
No ads
Nothing to buy, no ads, and no videos that play one after another.
No kid accounts
Children never sign in or type an email. Only a grown-up signs in, and only to save across devices.
You choose what's on
Turn off any activity or grade, or let your child earn game time by finishing lessons.
Made for kids
Every lesson and story was written for Ladderling, just for children. Nothing is pulled in from other sites.
Saved on your device
Progress stays on this device unless you choose to save it to your own account.
Works offline
Add it to your home screen and keep learning in the car or on a plane.
Questions grown-ups ask
What ages is it for?
Pre-K through Grade 5 (about ages 4 to 11). Pre-K has Math and Reading & Writing; Kindergarten through Grade 5 also have Science and Social Studies. Pre-K and Kindergarten lessons read every question aloud.
What devices does it work on?
Any tablet, phone, or computer with a web browser, including iPads, Android tablets, Chromebooks, and Fire tablets. Nothing to download: you can add it to the home screen so it opens like an app.
Does it work without the internet?
Yes. Once Ladderling has been opened on a device, lessons, stories, and games keep working offline, and progress saves on the device. If you've signed in, it catches up with your account the next time it's used online.
Do I need an account?
No. Without one, progress is saved on the device your child uses. Sign in with Google on the grown-ups' page if you'd like progress on more than one device, and to see it from your own phone.
How much time should my child spend?
Each level is one short lesson, so one or two a day is plenty. On the grown-ups' page you can turn off games, or have them earned by finishing lessons.
Is it really free?
Yes, everything is free during the beta, with no payment details needed. A paid Family plan will come later, some of Ladderling will always be free, and nothing your child has already done will be taken away.
More to explore
