“Ada’s confidence in maths has really grown — lovely to see. A little reading practice at home would round off a great week.”

InclusionInclusive learning & SEN support
Inclusive by design
Learning that fits every child
Every child learns differently. Northlight adapts so learning stays calm, clear and achievable — working alongside your child’s teacher and the school’s SENCo, never replacing them.
Comfort tools
Bigger text, a dyslexia-friendly easy-read font, high contrast, calm (reduced motion & colour), a reading ruler, and read-aloud — each toggled from the child’s Comfort menu and remembered for them.
Activities break into smaller steps and adapt to where a child is. No timers, no “wrong” framed as failure — encouragement and a clear next step instead.
A shared support plan
A guardian and teacher agree a few simple adjustments together; the app applies them quietly for the child. [SME to confirm the adjustments list.]
Default to calm mode & read-aloud
Shorter sessions
Extra worked examples before practice
Working with your school
Northlight supports learning at home; it doesn’t replace the school’s SEN process or any EHCP. Talk to the class teacher or SENCo about formal support. [SME to confirm wording.]
🔒 Information about a child’s needs is sensitive. It’s kept private and shared only with the people a guardian chooses — never used for ads, never sold.
GuardianHelp at home & understanding
Help at home
Plain-language understanding and small things that make a big difference. Optional, and easy to turn off.
What Ada’s working on right now
Reading: ‘magic-e’ words (a–e, i–e) — like cake, bike, home. Right now she sometimes reads the short sound (‘cap’ instead of ‘cape’).
Why it matters: the ‘magic e’ changes the vowel sound — it’s a big step that unlocks lots of everyday words and builds reading confidence.
Try this together — 5 minutes
1Write 3 short words: cap, kit, hop. Read them together.
2Add an 'e' to each: cape, kite, hope. Hear how the vowel says its name?
3Spot magic-e words on a cereal box or sign on the way to school.
What the words mean
Mastery
How securely your child can do something — not a test score, and it can go up and down as they learn.
Split digraph
The school word for ‘magic e’: two letters that work together but are split apart (a–e in ‘cake’).
Reinforcement
Gentle revisiting of a topic at spaced-out times so it sticks — not extra pressure.
