Daily Practice at Home

The Scribble curriculum is about 20 hours of practice. Spread across short daily sessions, that's roughly 6–10 weeks to finish. Daily consistency matters more than long sessions.

The daily XP goal

Each student has a daily XP goal. When they earn that much XP in one day, they've "hit their goal" and their streak continues.

• The goal is set on the server — you can change it on the web dashboard.
• Earning XP comes from completing lessons, reviews, and the daily warmup.
• Hitting the goal is what extends the streak; practicing without hitting the goal does not extend the streak.

See Daily goal & streaks for the exact rules.

A typical practice routine

1. Same time, same place. After dinner, before bed, right after school — pick one and stick with it.
2. 10–15 minutes is enough for most children. Longer is fine if they're enjoying it.
3. End on a win. When the daily goal is hit, let them stop. They'll come back tomorrow happier.
4. Take real breaks. A day off is not a failure. The streak survives non-goal days.

If your child misses a day

There are two kinds of days for streaks:

• Goal days: Days they're expected to practice. Missing the goal on a goal day breaks the streak.
• Non-goal days: Days off. Not practicing on a non-goal day is fine — the streak doesn't break.

The default is to treat every day as a goal day. You can change this from the dashboard if your family takes regular days off (weekends, for example).

Watching progress

The dashboard shows your child's daily XP, streak length, letters per minute (LPM), and legibility scores over time. The end goal of the curriculum is 25+ legible letters per minute, which most students reach after working through the full ~20 hours.
