About Readingtick
A home reading record for one class: families tick the nights their child read, and the teacher reads one grid on Monday.
Why it exists
Most primary classes send a paper reading record home. It comes back torn, signed in a hurry on the bus, or not at all, and on Monday morning someone flicks through a stack of booklets to see who read. School-wide reading apps solve this for a whole school, with a contract and an app every parent has to install. Readingtick is for the single teacher who wants the same picture for one class, tonight, without either.
How it works for a family
A family gets a printed slip with a QR code. They scan it and their phone opens their child's page for that visit: one big button for tonight, the minutes and the book if they like, and the last 7 nights as dots. They never sign up, never give an email address, and never see another child. A family without a phone takes home a monthly paper log instead.
How it is built
The pages are static files. A small server keeps the classes, readers and ticks in one database on Cloudflare. The teacher signs in with a passkey, so the site never holds a password. Readers are a seat number and a nickname, never a name, and the server refuses two-word names (it cannot catch every form of a full name), an email address, a web address or a phone number where it does not belong. Family codes are kept only in a scrambled form, so a copy of the database would not open a single child's page.
What it is not
A record of nights your family marked as reading. It is not an assessment. It does not measure reading level, progress or ability, and it does not message families. It is not run by or for any school system: the teacher uses it for their own class and follows their school's rules on pupil data. Readingtick is not affiliated with any school, publisher, reading scheme, library or reading-record app.
Install it
On a phone it can sit on your home screen like an app. On an iPhone or iPad, open the Share menu in Safari and choose Add to Home Screen. On other browsers, use Install in the menu.
