DISCOVER DETAILS OF OUR READING PROGRAM
1️⃣ LEARNING LETTERS Your child will develop a strong foundation in letter recognition, letter-sound knowledge, and other pre-reading skills. You will guide them as they practice writing letters, develop phonemic awareness, and deepen their understanding of letter sounds through interactive games.
2️⃣ BLENDING LETTERS In this phase, your kid will use their knowledge of letter-sounds to begin blending letters together to read words. Your child will become adept at using our sound sliders to support them in decoding words with short vowel sounds and both slow & fast consonants.
3️⃣ READING BOOKS Once your child has a foundation in word-blending skills, it’s time to read books! Together you will read fun and engaging stories, reveal hidden pictures, and check for understanding by answering comprehension questions.
4️⃣ ADVANCED DECODING In this phase, your kid will learn about long vowel sounds, digraphs, and irregular sight words, as well as how to approach common types of punctuation.
5️⃣ READING FLUENCY In this final phase of reading development, your child will learn to read smoothly and accurately by expanding their sight word knowledge, vocabulary, and exposure to more complex text.

Loved the app, finished all the reading lessons and now my child is able to read lots on his own. Definitely worth the money, lots of cool print-outs to do with your child and fun games for them to play!:)
★★★★★Aiza M· Jun 27, 2026
Excellent app. My son learned to read at 4 with help from this app, 18 months later, and he is now reading a year ahead of his age!
★★★★★Clarissa· Jul 3, 2026
My daughter is 3 and has been wanting to read, and we have tried, but I didn't know where to start this app was a big change in use learning to read, and we just started not long ago we do a lesson everyday she asks so them and hates she can only do one a day, but we are on leave 12 and read the first book in the app and starting to use what we have learned in her leave 1 reading books, and it had helped with her writing as she is writing them better in her workbooks best subscription I have used

I thought the app was going to let me read out loud and help correct my reading, but instead it was mostly videos and questions. It also needed a parent next to me for some parts, so I didn’t really like it.

I don't mind paying for quality educational software, but I disagree with the subscription model unless it is tied to tangible new content. I'd much rather pay for yearly lesson packs or curriculum expansions that I own forever. Since this app also requires parental involvement, I can just as easily buy physical phonics workbooks, work through them at our own pace, and own them forever. I'd rather pay for new educational content than rent access to existing lessons.

Downloaded this app and started the one-week free trial. A notification popped up, asking if I wanted a reminder 2 days before my free trial ended, and I thought, Great, I don't have to write a reminder in my calendar to cancel the subscription, like I usually do... Well, I never got a reminder and ended up paying for a full month, even though I never used the app.
