Student Usage Reports
In the Usage Reports, you can see how often and how long each child has played Phonics Hero across specific dates. This can be especially useful for checking which children might need reminders of their logins or encouragement to continue playing.
If you are an account admin, you can also view and download Teacher Usage Reports.

Understanding Your Report
The report displays the following for each student. Dates are shown in dd/mm/yyyy format.
- Last date of login: the last time the student accessed their account.
- Logins: how many times the student has accessed their account. Note that children or parents can be logged in without playing — this figure is directionally useful but does not directly indicate how many times a child has played.
- Total time spent playing: time is only counted from the point a child is actively playing a game. Time spent in the hideout or other areas of Phonics Hero does not count.
Tips for Improving Usage
- We recommend sending login information to parents several times a year — over the course of a busy school year, login details will get lost!
- Download our printable PDF certificates to give to children as incentives and recognition for their hard work.
