Practice between sessions: the gap nobody's tool fills.
A tutor teaches for one hour. Then the child goes home, and the week has 167 more. What happens in a few of those hours decides more than the lesson does.
The gap is documented, not imagined.
Ask working tutors what breaks their momentum and the same answers repeat: they find out on Thursday that nothing was practiced at home, prep gets thrown away by a cancellation, and a break or a busy week undoes a month (the no-show economy is real). On the family side the mirror image: parents told to help at home, handed conflicting advice, and left without a concrete answer to the only question that matters: what do we actually do tonight?
Why worksheets lose the week.
A worksheet asks a tired child to do the hardest thing in their day, alone, with nobody noticing whether it happened. When it does happen, nobody can see what it revealed. The work is invisible in both directions, and invisible work stops.
What the space between sessions actually needs.
Practice a child asks for
If the practice is not something a child will choose on a Tuesday without a fight, the quantity of it is theoretical. This is a design problem, not a discipline problem.
The right material, automatically
Practice only helps at the level the child is actually on. A parent cannot be asked to make that call every night.
Visibility without surveillance
The tutor should walk in Monday already knowing how the week went, without cameras, without screenshots of the child, without a parent filing reports.
No penalty for a hard week
Families with struggling readers already carry enough. A missed week should cost nothing except the practice itself.
This is the gap Lillory is built for, and you can see how on the tutor page. But the argument stands on its own: whatever tool you use, the space between sessions is where a reading intervention succeeds or stalls.
