Alto at your school
Your child is using Alto at school. Here’s what they’re practising and how you can follow their progress.
What they’ve been doing
Alto provides short, personalised daily practice in maths and literacy. Each session takes around 10 to 15 minutes, with shorter sessions for foundational number facts, and finishes automatically.
Your child practises at their own level, in the subjects their teacher has selected. Alto chooses the questions, helping them develop fluent recall, consolidate earlier learning and strengthen the foundations they need for what comes next.
Alto builds on classroom teaching, giving pupils the repeated practice they need to remember what they’ve learnt.
How you can tell it’s working
Progress often shows up in small ways. Answers that once took some thought become easier to recall, and skills that needed more effort start to feel familiar.
Alto also shows your child how their knowledge is developing over time. They can see what they’ve practised, what they’re still learning and what they’ve mastered, without being compared with their classmates.
Rather than focusing on marks or rankings, Alto helps pupils recognise their own progress.

Find your Family Link Code
A Family Link Code lets you follow your child’s Alto progress at school. You’ll find it in your child’s Alto profile when they’re signed in, or you can ask their school for it.
The code is for linking your family account, not for your child to log in.

Practising at home
Your child can continue practising at home in the subjects their school has selected. Families who would like access to additional subjects can explore Alto’s family subscription.
Alto still chooses the questions and manages the practice, so there’s nothing for you to prepare or mark.
