About

Sentenceglow

Help your kid stop making the same grammar mistake twice. Sentenceglow teaches the grammar that shows up on school writing and standardized tests — subject-verb agreement, who and whom, commas and semicolons, verb tenses, misplaced modifiers, parallel structure, capitalization, commonly confused words — using spaced repetition, the same science behind the most effective study tools. Every question a kid misses comes back the next day, then right before it would be forgotten, until it sticks. Every answer, right or wrong, comes with a short explanation of why. Questions match your kid's grade. A sixth grader starts with the basics; a high schooler skips straight to the tricky ones. Older kids meet the easier questions later, never lose them. And the daily goal is a pace, not a cap: a kid on a roll can keep going as long as they like. 827 questions across eleven skills and five difficulty tiers, all hand-checked, from the makers of Wordglow. FOR KIDS (GRADES 6-12) • Short daily rounds: reviews first, then today's new questions, then bonus practice • Tap an answer, learn why, move on — stop any time and keep everything you earned • XP, levels, streaks, and badges that reward effort — a miss still earns points • A mastery ring for every skill, so progress is visible • Pick a goal to work toward and watch it fill up on the home screen FOR FAMILIES • Set each kid's grade and a daily goal; nudge the difficulty gentler or harder • Parent dashboard: streaks, minutes practiced, accuracy week over week, the skills that need the most work, and the questions your kid keeps missing • Reward deals: your kid proposes "practice 7 days in a row → movie night", you approve it in PIN-protected parent mode, and the app tracks it honestly • Multiple kid profiles on one device • Export a full backup or a spreadsheet of answer history any time PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking • No internet needed — the app makes no network requests at all • Everything stays on your device. We collect nothing. Free, with no in-app purchases.
