I See Sam Beginning Reading

Real Reviews From Real Users

Great for beginning readers and those with a reading disability
My kindergarten son was diagnosed with dyslexia, and this app has been wonderful for him! The books progress logically based on reading level, which is surprisingly difficult to find. So often books for beginning readers are all over the place phonetically. If he gets stuck on a word, he can touch the text to hear it sounded out. I like that it asks questions throughout the stories to assess reading comprehension and that at the end of books they go over letter sounds and blends that will be coming in the next book. He feels accomplished as he moves up each level. It’s really been the best app we have found for him so far.

Best system for teaching reading
We used this program to teach all three of our kids to read. Our first child was with the paper books. By the second set they were each ready to move on to bigger books by themselves. I can’t praise these books enough!

Love Sam!
I can’t praise these books enough! I’ve read them with 5 kids now and they are the best at introducing books to kids and developing reading skills. Thank you for making an app!
