New: Method Quest, a game for children

The same methods from our guides, turned into levels your child can play. Each quest starts with the simplest Year 1 version of a method and builds, level by level, to the full Year 6 method, with stars, XP and badges along the way.

Why we made it

As parents ourselves, we know how hard it can be to make home learning effective and enjoyable. Methods have changed since we were at school, so we translate classroom approaches into quick, easy-to-follow guides.

Less time deciphering school jargon, more time on activities that keep your child motivated and having fun.
