Welcome to RITA Quest! This guide walks you through getting set up — creating your account, adding your child, choosing a game, and seeing how their reading grows. It's written for grown-ups, but simple enough to read together with your child.
Sign up with your email address. We'll send you a quick verification code to confirm it's really you. Once you're in, add your name (and a phone number if you like) when prompted — this is a one-time step, and you'll need to finish it before adding your first child.
Head to My Children and add a profile for each child who will play. Give them a name and let them pick a fun animal avatar. You can also add a few optional details:
Tip: adding your child's date of birth is the single most useful detail — it's what turns the progress dashboard into a reading-age picture you can compare against their age and school year.
Your child can choose from three Band Quest games, each tuned to their current level:
The flow is simple: your child taps their profile, picks a game, plays a round with instant feedback after each answer, and sees their score at the end. Want to know how children climb to harder levels? See How Progression Works.
There's a second world too: Tally Town, our number games. From the Games page your child can choose it to count objects, hear and find numbers, put numbers in order, and add or take away with friendly ducks and other characters. It starts very simply and levels up just like Band Quest — see Tally Town: Number Games.
The third world is Clock Corner, where your child learns to tell the time: reading clocks, hearing the time, setting the hands, matching clocks to times, working out the time later and telling a.m. from p.m., from o'clock up to five-minute jumps. See Clock Corner: Telling the Time.
The fourth world is Word Garden, where your child learns the difference between naming words and doing words: sorting words into baskets, then finding them in short sentences. Every word is checked by a person before children see it. See Word Garden: Naming and Doing Words.
From My Children, open a child's progress dashboard to see how their reading, spelling and vocabulary are developing. At a glance you'll find:
Pick your animal, choose a game, and let's play! Read fast before the timer beeps, spell the word you hear, find the right picture, or count the ducks in Tally Town. Get a few right in a row and you'll jump up to a brand-new colour. Missed one? No worries — just try again!
