Homeschool Parents ask this question a lot:
“What do moderators actually want to see in a homeschool report?”
It’s not endless samples. It’s not a checklist of hours.
The answer is surprisingly simple:
Progress.
They want to see that your child is learning and growing.
They don’t need a portfolio, they need a story of development.
So here’s the tip we always give:
Start tracking progress clearly and consistently.
Don’t just log activities, tag them as “Starting,” “Learning” and “Competent”
This alone helps parents shift from just “doing school” to showing growth.
That’s the first win.
But let’s be honest, knowing what moderators want is one thing.
Actually tracking it every day without burnout is a completely different challenge.
That’s where homeschool progress and tracking apps like Snapadore come in.
The Snapadore iOS app was built by homeschoolers who understand what families actually need and what moderators are really looking for.
Snapadore lets you quickly snap a photo of what your child is doing, write a short note, tag the subject, and here’s the genius, select their level of progress right then and there.
Even better?
The app’s built-in AI helps describe the learning for you.
It analyses the photo and offers a smart, educational summary you can tweak in seconds.
It even suggests next steps based on what your child’s working on.
So it’s not just a helpful tool, it’s habit-forming.
You start using progress and tracking apps like Snapadore not because you have to, but because it makes your life easier.
When reporting season comes, the app generates a clean, organised report that highlights your child’s growth over time with no late-night catch-ups, no guesswork, and no stress.
So yes, understanding that moderators care about progress is key.
But unless you have a system that makes documenting that progress effortless and consistent…
You’re still left scrambling.
Progress and tracking apps can solve a real problem, not just reporting, but the daily documentation behind it.
Take a closer look at how Snapadore can help you get on top of what your moderator wants from homeschool reports.
