Age only sets the paper this pupil is offered first — wider lines for a younger hand, narrower for an older one. Every page size and every kind of ruling is open to everybody, and a grown-up can change it at any time.
A grown-up picks the plan. Paying asks for a grown-up’s email, for the receipt — and for nothing else.
Paid online? You can also paste the payment number from your receipt email here.
Bought your copy in person? Type the code you were given. It needs internet once, and then works offline.
Your payment is checked on our own server, and what you buy is signed so it cannot be copied. Nothing about your child leaves this device.
Nothing your child writes leaves this device. By using this app you agree to our terms and conditions. See also our privacy notice.

Looking for a pen…
Each one is bought on its own.
Wake NumAp — knowing numbers Wake Eng.Read.Write.Ap — first reading and writingTouch the white box below with each end of your pen in turn, then with a finger. This shows what your device says it felt. Nothing is saved.
Everything this pupil has written, newest first. It is kept on this device only — nothing is sent anywhere.
Your handwriting stays exactly as you wrote it. Here you can also type the same piece out, choose a font, and print a tidy copy.

How much writing has been done, and when.
Taller bars are longer pieces. Writing at length is the thing that grows the slowest, so this is the bar worth watching.
Handwriting improves with a real pen or stylus in the hand. A finger is welcome, but it cannot teach a pen grip.
Questions about a pupil's progress, billing or a problem with the app. A grown-up should send this.
Every pupil on this device.
Sorted so whoever needs attention first is at the top.
Missed by the most pupils — worth teaching to the whole group.
If a pupil practised on their own phone, ask a grown-up to send you their backup file from Settings, then bring it in here.
All results live on this device only. Nothing is uploaded.
Clear the record wipes the writing record — the charts of when and how much was written — and keeps every piece of work, the pupil, and your subscription. Erase this pupil removes the child completely, their writing with them, and if the subscription was bought on this child it goes too.
A backup holds the writing itself, so it can be a large file. That is the point: it is the only copy there is.
Moving to a new phone, or bringing a pupil back after clearing your browser? Choose the backup file you saved earlier.
Backups are the only copy of a pupil's history. Save one at the end of each term and keep it somewhere safe, like your email.
You can buy or change a plan at any time — there is no need to wait for a free trial to run out. Whatever you choose starts on the day you pay.
Added to the home screen it opens like any other app — its own icon, no address to type, and it still works with no internet.
On an iPhone or iPad
Do this before a child starts, if you can. On an iPhone the home-screen copy keeps its own results, separate from Safari’s, so work already saved here will not appear in it. If there is work already: press Save a backup above, add the icon, open it, and choose that file under Restore from a backup. After that, use only the icon.
On an Android phone
Android shares the same results between Chrome and the icon, so nothing needs carrying across.
How to start, what the nine games teach, how to read a report, and how to keep your results safe.
📖 Open the manualA grown-up’s email address, please. The receipt goes there, with a link that puts the plan back on a new phone. It is used for nothing else.
Reports and settings are for a parent, guardian or teacher. Please answer to carry on.
Copy the words below, then paste them into your email. Doing it this way keeps Wake Write.Draw.Ap open on screen.
Some computers open email over the top of the app. Copy the words first and nothing can be lost.
