Treehouse FAQs
| Q: Can I restrict student access to the Treehouse during school hours? |
A: Not at this time. Students can access the Treehouse and the Arcade from inside the Reading Park at all times.
| Q: Why isn’t the Sticker Book visible in my student’s Treehouse? |
A: The Sticker Book appears when a student has earned a sticker by playing and completing lessons. If you don’t see the Sticker Book yet, the student may need to play and complete several more lessons in order to earn a sticker and reveal the book.

A: Not at this time. You can download and print Monster Friend coloring sheets from the DreamBox Reading Teaching Tools section of the Learn Site.
