Student Starter Guide

This guide is your starting point! Whether you're learning at home, in school, or anywhere in between, these steps will help you stay organized, confident, and ready to grow.

1. Get Your Space Ready

You don’t need a fancy setup — just a small space where you can focus. A table, a corner of your room, or even a comfy spot on the couch works great.

  • Keep your supplies nearby
  • Remove distractions when you can
  • Have water or a snack ready

2. Start With One Small Goal

Big goals can feel overwhelming — so start small. Choose one thing you want to finish today.

  • Read for 10 minutes
  • Finish one activity card
  • Practice a skill for 5 minutes
  • Write one paragraph or solve a few problems

3. Use Your Learning Tools

Zapz Academy gives you tools to help you learn in a way that feels good for you. Explore them and use what works best.

  • Activity cards
  • Reading & math tools
  • Digital Learning Paths
  • Study tips & focus strategies

4. Take Breaks When You Need Them

Breaks help your brain stay sharp. If you feel tired, stuck, or frustrated, pause for a moment.

  • Stretch or move around
  • Drink water
  • Take a few deep breaths
  • Come back when you feel ready

5. Ask for Help When You Need It

Learning is easier when you have support. If something feels confusing or too hard, it’s okay to ask for help.

  • Ask a parent or guardian
  • Talk to a teacher or tutor
  • Use your Zapz tools for guidance

6. Celebrate Your Wins

Every step forward counts — even the small ones. Celebrate your progress and be proud of yourself.

  • Finished an activity? Celebrate!
  • Learned something new? Celebrate!
  • Stayed focused for a few minutes? Celebrate!
