Practice mode

Practice mode lets your child replay a lesson they have already finished. It is a low-pressure way to go over the same material again, and it gives a heart back when they reach the end.

How to start it

On the learning path, tap any lesson marked as completed (the ones showing stars). Instead of starting fresh, it reopens that lesson in practice mode. You will see a "Practice Mode" label at the top so it is clear this is a replay and not a new lesson.

Locked lessons and the current lesson behave as usual. Only finished lessons can be practised.

What it costs and what it gives

Practice runs are safe. A wrong answer does not cost a heart, so your child can work through the questions without worrying about running out and getting stuck. When they finish a practice run, they get one heart back.

Practice does not award any XP, and it does not change the lesson's stars or its place on the path. The score from the original run stays as it was. So practice will not push a child forward or undo what they have already earned. It is there for extra repetition and for topping up hearts.

When it helps

Two situations come up most often. The first is when a topic still feels shaky and your child wants another go at questions they have already seen. The second is when hearts are low and they cannot start the next lesson yet. Rather than waiting for hearts to refill on their own, they can replay a finished lesson and earn one straight away.

A note on the Fact Vault

There is a separate Review activity, drawn from the Fact Vault, that picks out the specific facts your child has been getting wrong. That one is for targeted practice across topics; this article is about replaying a single lesson you have already completed.
