Set up your family

Your family is the group that holds you and your children. You create it the first time you sign in, by telling us what to call you. Everything else is managed from your family page.

Create your family

1. Sign in from the link in your email. See Start your free trial if you haven't yet.
2. On the welcome page, find "What should we call you?"
3. Type your name. It can be up to 40 characters. A first name is fine.
4. Save. This creates your family and takes you on to adding a child.

Your family page

After setup, your family page greets you by name. It has:

• A card for each child with their grade and stage, and a status: "Needs your OK" until you give consent, then "Ready to read".
• A next step on each card. It reads "Give your OK so" and the child's name "can start" while consent is pending, then points to the next thing to do, such as setting up sign-in and devices.
• An Open the reading space button once a child has consent. It opens the page where children pick who is reading.

To add another child, press Add a kid on the Children page.

How many children

A family can have up to 6 children. Your plan may allow fewer: Family covers up to 4 children and Family Plus covers up to 6. See Plans and prices.

Next steps

1. Add a child.
2. Give consent so the child can sign in.
3. Set up a reading device.

If it doesn't work

• You closed the page before saving your name. Sign in again. The welcome page asks again.
• Your family page is missing a child. Check that you saw a saved message after adding them. If a child is missing, add them again.
• You need to change your name or email. Write to support@taletykes.com from the account's address.
