Prodigy for Parents
What kind of progress reports does Prodigy for Parents offer?
The app provides live, detailed progress reports that go beyond a simple score. For example, you can see exactly how many questions your child attempted on a specific skill like long division and how many they got right, which tells a clear story about their strengths and areas for improvement.
Can I set goals for my child within the app?
Yes, the app includes a goal-setting tool where you can set weekly challenges, such as completing a certain number of geometry problems. Your child then works toward that goal to earn rewards in their game, turning your reminders into a fun challenge they choose to take on.
Why am I not receiving any notifications from the app?
First, check that notifications are enabled for Prodigy for Parents in your phone’s settings. The app is designed to send only one or two notifications per week for real milestones, so if you haven’t seen any, your child may not have reached a new skill mastery yet, or you might need to confirm your email and their username are linked correctly.
The app shows my child’s progress but won’t load the practice activities. What should I do?
This usually happens due to a weak internet connection or an outdated app version. Try closing the app completely, restarting it, and checking for any updates in your app store. If the problem persists, reinstalling the app often resolves the issue without losing your data.
How does Prodigy for Parents compare to Khan Academy Kids for tracking math progress?
While Khan Academy Kids offers a broader range of subjects and free content, Prodigy for Parents focuses specifically on game-based math learning with detailed skill-level reports. Prodigy’s strength is turning your child’s in-game activity into actionable insights, like seeing they mastered estimating sums, which makes it easier to have meaningful conversations about their learning.
