Prompt for educators
When students know their facts, you can focus on teaching them to think.
Prompt helps students remember foundational knowledge – the facts, figures and terminology that form the basis of deeper understanding. While it won’t magically help them answer complex exam questions, it creates the knowledge base they can then learn to apply.
The challenge you face
Helping students to manage their time effectively is increasingly important in providing pastoral care.
Through Prompt, schools can help students take a break from scrolling and turn some of their screen time into study time.
Teaching KS3 and GCSE subjects means covering enormous amounts of content. Students need to know facts before they can apply them – but classroom time is limited, and homework compliance varies.
You’re trying to teach analysis, reasoning and application skills. But that’s difficult when students haven’t mastered basic knowledge.
Would you prefer your Chemistry students knew a cathode from a cation before you teach electrolysis? Or your History students could distinguish Cecil from Dudley, the Nuremberg Rallies from the Nuremberg Trials?
How Prompt helps
Rather than fighting phone habits or blocking phones outright, Prompt works within them, creating a small interruption in screen time that turns into a pause. Result? They put the phone down and do something else, or they answer the question and think for a few seconds before continuing. Either way, they stop scrolling.
Prompt handles the factual learning that takes up valuable classroom time. Students encounter curriculum content repeatedly throughout their day, building recall through spaced repetition.
Students get regular learning moments throughout the day – not just when they remember to revise. Prompt uses spaced repetition to provide consistent, repeated learning that builds long-term recall.
GCSEs require remembering enormous amounts of information across nine or ten subjects. Prompt makes this manageable through small, daily learning moments rather than last-minute cramming.

How to recommend Prompt
Prompt pops up with a quick question on something your teen is already learning at school.
Result? They put the phone down and do something else, or they answer a GCSE or KS3 question, see how they did, and pick up a little more knowledge and think for a few seconds before continuing. Either way, they stop scrolling.
Prompt reminds you how you are spending your time online and turns some of your phone time into useful revision moments. It might feel a bit annoying at first, but it really helps information stick – and you’ll see the results in your grades.
