Learning Acceleration 30-Day Challenge Tracker

One micro-challenge per day to build powerful study habits that stick

This 30-day challenge introduces one learning technique per day. Each micro-challenge takes 5-15 minutes. The goal is not perfection — it's exposure. By day 30 your child will have experienced every major evidence-based learning technique and can continue using the ones that clicked.

Techniques to continue using daily:

Missing a day is fine. Quitting is the only failure. If your child resists a challenge, let them modify it. The goal is exposure to the technique, not perfect execution.
