Terms of use
The terms that apply when you use Readingtick: what the reading log can be relied on for, pupil data, acceptable use and support.
Last updated 28 October 2026
What this is
Readingtick keeps a home reading log for a class: a teacher sets up the class and prints a slip for each reader, and families tick the nights their child read. It is a record of nights a family marked as reading. It is not an assessment, and it does not measure reading level, progress or ability.
Pupil data and your school
By setting up a class you confirm that you follow your school's rules on pupil data and on contact with families, and that you have any permission those rules ask for. Use seat numbers and nicknames, never a child's name; the site refuses two-word names, though it cannot catch every form of a full name, and has no field for a child's birth date, address, school or photo. School data rules are yours to follow: nothing on this site is legal advice.
Names used
Schools, reading schemes and passkey managers are named descriptively, if at all. Readingtick is not affiliated with any school, publisher, reading scheme, library or reading-record app.
Payments
No paid plan is offered at present; if one is added, this page will describe it.
Your content
You own your class's record. You decide who gets a slip, and you can make a new slip for any reader, which stops the old one at once. You can download everything you own and delete your account at any time from the account page; the privacy page says exactly what is stored and for how long.
Acceptable use
Use the reading log for your own class. Do not put a child's or a family's private details into a label, nickname or book title, do not try to guess codes, and do not send requests at a rate that degrades the site for other people. Classes that break these terms may be removed.
Warranty and liability
The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, and runs within free hosting limits that can make it busy for a while. To the extent the law allows, Readingtick is not liable for any loss arising from its use, including a tick that was not saved or a slip that reached someone it was not meant for.
