Steptrail

Help / Getting started

Set up Steptrail in 10 minutes

Add your children, set a grown-up PIN and put the app on the device they use.

  1. Start your free trial and confirm your email. The kids' screen opens once the email is confirmed.
  2. In the grown-up area, choose Add a child. Enter a first name or nickname and the grade.
  3. Answer the dyslexia question. "Yes, or not sure" turns on the dyslexia plan; "No" uses the standard plan. You can change it later.
  4. Set a grown-up PIN under Settings, so a child can't open the grown-up area on a shared device.
  5. On the child's tablet or computer, sign in once and add Steptrail to the home screen (see Put Steptrail on a tablet or phone).

The first lesson

Leave the reading and math levels at 1 and your child plays a short "Show what you know" game first. It finds the right starting point, so they don't repeat what they already know.

How long each day

A day's path takes about 15 minutes. Short, daily practice works better than long sessions once a week.
