Skills and learning
Which skills there are, how lessons are written and what to expect.
- How many skills are there?Dilly has 75 skills your child can teach today. The skill plan has 100, and the other 25 are not ready yet.
- Which skills are about solving problems and inventing?Twelve skills about coming up with ideas, breaking a problem down, and choosing what to do next.
- Which skills are about following instructions?Eleven skills about doing exactly what was asked, spotting unclear instructions, and checking the work.
- Which skills are about facts, claims and evidence?Twelve skills about telling facts from guesses, asking for proof, and not trusting an answer just because it sounds sure.
- Which skills are about patterns, rules and groups?Nine skills about finding a rule in examples, testing it, and sorting things into groups.
- Which skills are about testing and fixing?Nine skills about predicting, testing one change at a time, and checking that a fix really worked.
- Which skills are about helping, fairness, privacy and games?Twenty-two skills about giving hints, playing fair, keeping private details private, and building games and made-up worlds.
- What do "taught" and "practice again" mean?"Taught" means your child finished teaching a skill. "Practice again" means a new round. The four dots show how many rounds, and they are not a grade.
- What AI literacy does Dilly teach?Dilly teaches habits for using AI tools wisely: asking clearly, checking answers, testing, keeping details private, and knowing when to ask a person.
- What if the lessons feel too easy or too hard?The lessons are written at one level for every grade. Here is what you can change, and how to tell us.
- Why are the sentences in the lessons so short?Children's text in Dilly keeps each sentence to 12 words or fewer, with one idea at a time, so it is easy to read at a glance.
- Why are there no timers or minutes?Dilly shows no countdowns, no timers and no time estimates, so a child can read and think at their own pace.
- Where do the facts come from, and are they checked?Many lessons use made-up examples. Real-world facts need a source on record, and sources are shown once at the end. Our lessons have not had an outside expert review yet.
- Will Dilly help with my child's schoolwork?Dilly is not a homework tool and does not promise grades. It teaches habits for working with AI tools.
- Can Dilly replace a tutor?No. Dilly is a short, guided set of activities. It has no live teacher and does not follow a child's schoolwork.
- What if my child wants to keep going?There is plenty to do without more battery, including practice, side missions, building and the Room.
- Does my child's progress save?Yes. Progress is saved on your account, so a lesson, a mission or a build can be left and picked up later.
- Does my child's progress move to a new phone?Yes. Log in with the same email and password on the new phone, and your children's profiles come along.
