Little Wordsmiths is built for children ages 2 to 8, and built to be safe. Here is how it looks after your child, in plain words. The full detail is in the privacy policy. Last updated: October 15, 2026.
A look at the Grown-ups page, where the week is told in plain words.
This page sits behind the grown-ups door.
One short trail, a word that comes back, and a day that ends. Here are the three screens your child sees.
No timer and no hearts to lose. Take your time.
Sky the owl lays out a few stops picked for your child, such as new words, a letter and its sound, a little maths, a shape or a sentence. When the day’s trail is done, Sky says goodbye for today. No endless feed, no timers, no hearts to lose.
“Do you remember?” brings a word back to be reviewed, spaced out at around 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after it was learned. The timing adapts to your child’s answers. It shows what the word means and every answer can be heard.
There is no streak to break. A rest day is just a rest day, and a missed day does not take a step away from the map of the year.
Everything below sits behind the grown-ups door. It opens with a short question, or with a PIN you choose, so a young child cannot wander into settings or billing.
You can delete one child or the whole account any time. Here is how.
We keep the minimum to run the app and to show you progress.
Their learning stays on the device. Anonymous counters that say a screen was opened still reach us, and, like any online service, our servers receive ordinary technical information with each request.
In the app and in the parent portal.
You join a class and agree, or a school adds your child to one of its classes itself.
Nobody else’s family can see it, and there is no chat or public profile.
Because Little Wordsmiths needs a connection, the words, pictures and audio come from our servers, and progress is saved to your account when your child is signed in.
You decide. Nothing is shared with the school until you read the agreement and tick the box.
An 8-character class code.
In Grown-ups, under School. It needs a signed-in account with a confirmed email.
Nothing is shared with the school until you do.
You can leave the class from Grown-ups at any time, and sharing stops at once.
“I agree to share my child’s learning activity in Little Wordsmiths with this class’s teacher and school. I can stop sharing at any time from Grown-ups.”The agreement says this.
How many stops your child finished on the trail, and on how many days.
How many check-in and other answers were right.
The items the whole class is still practising.
The names of the grown-ups linked to your child. School administrators also see their email address.
If a school adds your child to a class itself, its staff see the same. If you did not expect that, tell us.
