Questions, answered.

Does my child need an email address or password?

No. You create their child profile, then they open their personal space with a private link, QR code or temporary 6-digit code at picobuddy.com/kids.

Can I choose my child’s grade or reading level?

Yes. Choose the grade or reading level that fits your child, then use leveled reading and practice that meets them where they are.

Can I choose what my child practices?

Yes. Put one activity ready, build a practice path or give your child room to choose from reading, grammar, vocabulary and word games.

Can we use PicoBuddy online and on paper?

Yes. Your child can practice online in their personal space, and you can download and print materials whenever paper works better.
