FOR PARENTS OF KIDS IN GRADES 1–8

Don’t wait for the report card.

Help your child practise what they learn at school, every school day. They write a short note, read a lesson made from it and answer practice questions. You see their results as they go, not months later.

From “I learned” to “I understand”

Give today’s learning
somewhere to go.

01

Put it into words.

A thought from school. Something they read. A question they are curious about. Help them capture it in a short note.

02

Read. Think. Try it.

Their note becomes a short lesson and quiz, shaped by their grade. They can read again and check explanations as they go.

03

Keep the idea growing.

Revisit earlier ideas through practice and weekly review. Use a question from their quiz to start a conversation together.

The note: “Our bean seed grew a root before we saw a shoot.”

A young plant’s first root

A bean seed holds a tiny young plant and stored food. When it has enough water, air and warmth, it can begin to grow. A root grows out first. It takes in water and anchors the plant. A shoot then grows upwards. Once its leaves open, the young plant can use light to make food.

What does the young root help the plant do?
Read. Think. Then check the explanation.

Skills for school. And for life.

Make room for what
they want to become.

Explaining an idea. Practising music. Helping at home. Give their next small step a place to begin.

Record the skills they want to learn, choose a suggested goal or make their own, and check in on how it feels each week.

The bigger picture

See their school progress.
Hear their perspective.

Marks tell part of the story. Their reflections help you understand the rest.

Keep school report cards and teacher comments together. Choose a school year, explore their subjects, and talk about what feels easier or needs support.

A space of their own

Each child has a separate sign-in. No child email required with a PeanutNotes ID.

Support you can share

Invite another grown-up to be part of your family’s learning routine.

Room for real life

Optional missing-note emails, with controls to pause for holidays and sick days.

A companion for the journey

A little encouragement along the way.

Their very own peanut

Watch their companion grow with their activity. XP, badges and milestones give them something to notice.

A small play break

Peanut Dash unlocks after daily practice: a short obstacle game with a limited number of runs.

A garden to share

Show their skills in progress, milestones and goals they choose to share. A grown-up enables the garden; anyone with the link can view it.

For Rose, with love.

Built by a dad, for his daughter

Made for the everyday moments.

PeanutNotes began with a father’s hope: to help his daughter stay curious and find joy in learning, one day at a time.

“Made for Rose, my beloved daughter, of whom I am proud every day, and who makes me a better person, a better dad, a better human.”

Before you begin

A few things
parents ask.

Who is PeanutNotes for?

PeanutNotes is for families with children in Grades 1–8. Choose each child’s grade and subjects, then find a routine that suits them. You can read beside them, help them put an idea into words, or encourage them to take the lead. The amount of support depends on your child. High school is not supported yet.

What does my child do?

Start with one short note about something they learned or want to understand. Your child can read a short lesson, try the questions with hints, and review the explanations. Saved reading and earlier ideas are there to revisit. Add a goal or a reflection when it feels useful. There is no fixed time to finish; go at your child’s pace.

Will PeanutNotes raise my child’s marks?

We can’t promise that, and we won’t. Marks depend on your child, their teacher and many other things. What PeanutNotes does is give each school day a second look at home: your child writes about what they learned, reads a short lesson and practises it, and you can see how that practice is going. It does not replace school, tutoring or professional support if your child needs it.

How is the reading and practice created?

AI uses your child’s note or topic, grade and semester to create a short reading followed by one to five questions. Earlier ideas can return for practice. You can review the reading and explanations together. AI can make mistakes; your child can flag a confusing or incorrect question and skip it without counting it against the score. These are practice tools, not a reading assessment or a guarantee of higher school marks.

Can we work on skills and goals beyond school subjects?

Yes. Your child can add skills they want to try and describe their confidence as Want it, Working on it or Feeling confident. Goals can cover areas such as Kindness, Creativity, Home and Organisation, with weekly mood check-ins. Parents can set goals too. A child’s confidence is their own reflection; recorded practice is shown separately, and neither is a formal assessment of mastery.

How do report cards and reflections work?

Your family enters school marks and teacher comments, keeping percentages, letters and achievement levels in their original format. Your child can add a self-reflection, and a parent can review the report. Your Progress brings subjects together for the school year you choose. These are your family’s records of school reports; PeanutNotes does not import them from school or award the marks.

What can I see as a parent?

Your Dashboard brings your children together. Open a child’s space to review notes, learning activity, practice results, skills, goals and report cards. A generated lesson also gives you a discussion prompt. Invite another grown-up if you want to share the routine; they have the same family access as you.

Does my child need an email address?

No. A parent can set up a PeanutNotes ID and password for their child, or invite them by email. Each person has their own sign-in. You can add multiple children to the same family, with separate notes and progress for each.

What is private, and what can be shared?

Parents in the family can review their children’s records. Notes, grade, semester and relevant earlier practice are sent to our AI provider to make lessons, so keep personal details out of notes. A parent can turn on an optional Garden link that anyone with the link can open. It shows selected progress and published learning material; published lesson data can include source excerpts and the grade used for the reading. Review material before sharing and read our Privacy page for details.

What if we miss a day?

Pick up with one idea when your family is ready. You can pause the routine for holidays or sick days in Dashboard → Rhythm. With reminders enabled, we check for missing child-authored notes on weekdays at 6 pm Eastern Time and email the active parents in the family. These are missing-note emails, not phone notifications or unfinished-quiz alerts. You can switch them off whenever you need.
