Personalise the Learning Paths
ABCmouse 2 provides both Maths and Reading Learning Paths that adapt to your child’s pace and skill level. To ensure your child gets the most out of the programme:
-
Set each Learning Path to reflect their current year or ability level.
-
Adjust one subject to a higher or lower level if your child is stronger in that area.
-
Click the Settings button in the top-right corner of the My Learning Paths screen to make updates.
Tip: Review your child’s Learning Path periodically to ensure it still matches their progress.
Encourage Exploration of Different Subjects
ABCmouse 2 offers a wide range of subjects, including reading, maths, art, and music. A well-rounded education helps children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Tip: Allow your child to choose new subjects to explore. This fosters independence and keeps them excited about learning.

With over 5,000 activities, ABCmouse 2 is designed to keep children engaged while reinforcing key concepts. Encourage your child to try different activity types, such as:
-
Games

Tracking and celebrating progress is an important part of keeping your child motivated. You can recognise achievements when your child:

Encourage motivation by rewarding your child with time in their favourite My World zones, such as Pet Park, Hamster, or Bot Beats.
