A literacy coach, not a chatbot · Ages 5–18

Feedback your child's own teacher would recognise.

LiteracyLab AI reads what your child writes — or checks what they understood — maps it against their real school curriculum, and turns it into feedback they'll actually want to act on — explained through the things they already love.

How it works

From blank page to actionable feedback in three steps.

01

Set up your learner

Pick their country curriculum, grade or year, and the interests that make feedback click — space, gaming, history and more.

02

Write, or read & answer

They either write in a workspace built for their age, with a live word counter and a target drawn from their year group's real curriculum expectations, or read an original passage and answer comprehension questions on it.

03

Get Key Takeaways

In seconds: a Glow, one Grow, and interest-themed vocabulary upgrades.

Not just a chatbot

You could paste this into ChatGPT. Here's what you'd lose.

A general-purpose AI can comment on a paragraph. It doesn't know your child's grade, their school's curriculum, or what they wrote last month — and it wasn't built with a five-year-old's data in mind.

How feedback is checked

Verification, not vibes.

An AI model generating a response is not the same as that response being correct. Every piece of feedback goes through automated checks before your child ever sees it — not a single unreviewed model output, trusted blindly.

Every curriculum citation is checked against that grade's real standard list — an invented or mismatched citation is rejected automatically, not shown.
When feedback rewrites part of your child's own story, that rewrite is checked for duplication and tone before it's spliced in — it has to actually apply the suggestion, not just describe it.
If a response fails those checks, it's automatically regenerated — up to three attempts — before your child ever sees a result.
Parent-managed accounts only
Instant self-service data export & deletion
Never sold. Never used to train public AI models.
COPPA-minded by design
Built for every age

One learner, four workspaces.

The same engine adapts its layout, vocabulary and tone from a five-year-old's first sentences to a sixth-former's exam essays — nobody outgrows the product.

explained through Gaming
"Push your argument further — like a boss fight: raise the tension, then land your strongest hit at the right moment."
Framework spotlight — PEEL
Point: raise the tension here. Evidence: the boss fight's final phase. Explain: that's the moment your argument lands hardest. Link: end each paragraph the same way.
Product

Feedback that teaches, not just grades.

Every submission returns the same things, in the same order: a Glow tied to their curriculum target; one Grow pitched just past what they can already do (their zone of proximal development) and explained through an interest they chose when you set them up, taught alongside a named writing framework — PEEL, Story Mountain and others, matched to the piece — grounded in a real sentence from their own submission, rewritten to show the technique applied to their own writing; two vocabulary upgrades with a usage example each; and, on Premium, a dedicated spelling and grammar check and a whole-piece score out of 10, judged separately from that single Grow so it stays honest even when the coaching stays narrow.

Glows tied to real curriculum targets, not generic compliments
Every Grow explained through an interest your child picks — the same writing lesson lands differently for a space obsessive than it does for a footballer
"Your story, revised": their own sentence shown rewritten with the fix applied, so the advice is something they can see, not just read
A named framework taught directly from their own writing, not a generic example

FAQ

Questions parents and students actually ask.

What is LiteracyLab AI?
LiteracyLab AI is an online literacy coach for children and students aged 5 to 18. A child writes a piece or answers a reading passage, and gets back one strength, one clear next step, a corrected version of their writing and vocabulary to learn, matched to their school curriculum (UK, US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, India, South Africa, Hong Kong, the Gulf, Singapore, or CEFR levels for English learners). Accounts are managed by a parent or guardian, and there is a free plan with 3 pieces a month. More about LiteracyLab AI.
How do the 3 free monthly submissions work?
Every account gets 3 free submissions each calendar month — writing, reading comprehension, or a mix of both — Glow, Grow, highlights and vocabulary feedback included on every one. Your count resets automatically on the 1st of each month, so there's nothing to remember or manually renew. Once you're using it every week, Core removes the monthly cap entirely.
Is my child's writing safe and private?
Yes. Submissions are processed solely to generate feedback for your child — we never sell or rent writing samples or personal data, and we don't use your child's submissions to train public AI models. Parents can view, export, or permanently delete a child's writing history at any time. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
How does LiteracyLab AI align with my country's curriculum?
You choose your region — UK, US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, India, South Africa, Hong Kong, UAE & GCC (Cambridge/IGCSE), Singapore & SE Asia (Cambridge/IB), or Global ESL Mode (CEFR A1–C2) — and your child's grade, year, or level, and every mastery target, Grow, and vocabulary suggestion is scaled to that curriculum's actual expectations. It's not one generic rubric stretched across every country.
Can I cancel my LiteracyLab subscription anytime?
Yes — both Core and Premium are billed monthly through Stripe with no lock-in contract. Cancel from your account settings in a couple of clicks and you won't be charged again; you'll keep full access through the end of the period you already paid for, then drop back to the free plan rather than losing your account.
Which LiteracyLab AI plan should I choose?
Start on Free and judge the feedback quality yourself — 3 submissions a month of real Glow, Grow, highlights and vocabulary feedback. Core (US$9.99 a month, with local prices in A$, £, €, C$, S$, NZ$, HK$, R and ₹) is right for one child practising regularly: unlimited submissions, the 26-week progress trend, anonymous ranking within their own year group, and full activity history. Premium (15.99 a month) is for households with more than one child — up to 6 learners on one account, cheaper than two Core plans — or a student aged 11+ working towards exams, since it adds exam-technique scoring, a second, harder next step, a spelling and grammar check and a whole-piece score out of 10 on every piece of feedback. You can move between plans at any time from your account settings.
What is exam-technique scoring?
On Premium, a student aged 11 or over gets each piece scored against the real assessment objectives published for their year and region — AQA GCSE English Language AO5 and AO6 in the UK, for instance, or the relevant Common Core writing standards in the US. Every objective gets a band from 1 (Emerging) to 4 (Strong), a quote from their own work as the evidence for that band, and one specific change that would move it up a band. It deliberately never gives a raw exam mark, percentage, or grade letter: one unmoderated piece can't support that precision, and a number that looks official but isn't would be worse than no number at all.
What happens when my child reaches their 3-submission limit?
The workspace clearly shows when they're at the limit and pauses new submissions — nothing is lost, and drafts already in progress stay saved. From there you can either upgrade to Core for unlimited submissions right away, or simply wait for the free allowance to reset at the start of next month.
Will it just write my child's essay for them?
No — it never writes their story. LiteracyLab AI only responds to work your child has already done: it names one specific strength and one thing to improve. The closest it comes to rewriting is the "Your story, revised" panel, which takes a sentence your child actually wrote and shows that same sentence with the suggested fix applied — their words, their voice, one change — so they can see what the advice looks like in practice instead of copying replacement prose. The next draft is still theirs to write.
Can I add more than one child to the same account?
Yes, on the Premium plan: up to six learners on one account (the Free and Core plans cover one learner), each with their own country curriculum, year group, interests and avatar. Their work stays completely separate: submissions, mastery history and progress are scoped to each child individually, so an older sibling's essays never blend into a younger one's dashboard. Switch between them from the learner bar at the top of the dashboard.
Are you ranking my child against other children?
Only in a deliberately limited, anonymous way. The dashboard shows how your child's overall mastery compares with other students in the exact same country and year group — an average, a percentile, and a ranked ladder. Every other entry on that ladder shows only a rank and a score, labelled "Student 4" and so on; no names or identifying details ever pass between families. And if fewer than five students share your child's exact country and year, the comparison is hidden entirely rather than shown against a group small enough to identify someone.
Can I export or delete my child's data?
Yes — instantly, and without having to ask us. From the parent dashboard you can download everything the account holds, including every learner's profile and their complete writing and reading history, as a single file. You can also permanently delete the entire account, which removes every profile and all history and cancels any active subscription. Deletion takes effect immediately and can't be undone — there's no support ticket and no waiting period. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
