Learn It 2 Earn It is a new way to get your kids to study to improve their test scores. Our K-5 solution offers all the things you’d expect from a math and reading comprehension learning app but also adds a unique twist. There are countless learning apps in the world, and their motivators are high scores, badges, skins, etc. Learn It 2 Earn It has gone a level deeper and found the real motivator: your child’s apps and games. We go deeper into the motivators for your child by blocking their apps until they’ve not only studied but also demonstrated mastery of the skills they are studying. Without completing an exercise and showing mastery, they will not be able to play their games or access the internet. For your child to study, Learn It 2 Earn It has created a time bank. The time bank stores the rewards from their completion and mastery of lessons. When your child is ready to play, they are free to withdraw their balance from the time bank. Once their withdrawn time has run out, their apps and games will be locked again and if their time bank is empty, they go back into the learning cycle to earn more time. -- Features -- • MATH AND READING LESSONS Math and Reading lessons based on current curriculum standards for K-5. Build your child’s foundational knowledge with our easy to understand exercises. • LESSON STRUCTURING TO HELP YOUR CHILD LI2EI knows when your child is struggling or excelling and can change the difficulty based on their performance. Your child will learn new concepts or review the parts they’re struggling with all at their own pace. • APP BLOCKING AND INTERNET BLOCKING Your device will automatically block apps and internet access until your child completes educational exercises. No more need to nag your kids to study, just simply set the app up and stop stressing. • REPORTING Weekly reports will be sent to you by text or e-mail on Mondays. You can monitor your child’s progress and see their improvements or identify where they need some more help. • PARENT DASHBOARD Use our parent dashboard to get the most out of your subscription. Get an in-depth view of your child’s performance, set up locking and unlocking times, and control how much screen time your child gets. This app uses an MDM Profile. If your device has an MDM profile already installed, you will be unable to use LI2EI without removing the original profile. This app requires an active internet connection to function correctly.
