Privacy & Safety First
Hesten's Learning is designed to be completely safe for children. We do not require accounts,
emails, or passwords. All progress is stored locally in your browser's memory
(LocalStorage). This means no personal data is ever sent to a server or shared with third parties.
Reading Support
Use the "Reading Guide" (mask) in the accessibility menu to help
your child focus on one line at a time. Text-to-Speech is available on most lessons.
Standard Alignment
Check our Standards Page to see how our content aligns with Common Core
(CCSS) requirements for your child's grade.
Any Device
Our site works on iPads, Chromebooks, and phones. You can switch
devices, but note that progress doesn't sync between them (for privacy).
In the Classroom
Hesten's Learning is a free tool for your "Response to Intervention" (RTI) or special education
toolkit. Because there are no logins, you can get students started instantly.
1
Differentiation
Direct students to specific grade levels regardless
of their actual grade. A 5th grader can practice Grade 2 math without stigma, as the
interface looks consistent.
2
Smart Board Friendly
Use "High Contrast" mode when projecting on a
whiteboard to ensure visibility from the back of the room.
3
No Setup Time
Since there are no rosters to import or passwords to
reset, it's perfect for station rotations or independent work time.
Yes. Hesten's Learning is a personal project dedicated to accessible education. There are no
paywalls, subscriptions, or hidden fees.
How do I save my progress?
Progress is saved automatically to the device and browser you are currently using. If you clear your
browser history/cookies, progress may be reset. We recommend not clearing "Local Storage" if you
want to keep your checkmarks.
What is the "Open Dyslexic" font?
Open Dyslexic is a font designed to mitigate some of the common reading errors caused by dyslexia.
The letters have heavy weighted bottoms to indicate direction and help reinforce the line of text.
You can enable it in the accessibility menu (bottom right).
Can I use this offline?
Currently, an internet connection is required to load the lessons and resources.
