Phonics for Kids - ReadBorn

Your child reads out loud. ReadBorn listens and helps only when they get stuck.

It starts with letter sounds and builds, one small step at a time, to reading real books. Every class your child finishes hatches a baby animal they get to keep.

Made with input from kindergarten and first-grade reading teachers. Built on systematic phonics, in line with the Science of Reading. For ages 3 to 8 and up. No ads, ever.

HOW IT WORKS
• Your child sees a word and reads it out loud.
• If they get stuck, ReadBorn sounds it out with them: "c - a - t."
• Help comes in small steps, only when needed, so your child does the reading.
• Finish a class, hatch a baby animal. Collect all 108 across 18 worlds.

FOR PARENTS
• A weekly report in plain language: the days your child read, the new words they learned, and which sounds they know or still need to practice.
• Set a weekly reading goal and get simple ideas for practicing together.
• No jargon and no grades.
• Up to 5 children on one device, each with their own profile and progress.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 108 classes, 847 short lessons and 171 illustrated stories.
• Each class starts with a short video, followed by games for listening, blending sounds, speaking and writing.
• Your child traces every new letter, one stroke at a time.
• 102 sight words, learned as whole words.
• Tap any letter or word to hear it.
• New stories unlock as your child learns the sounds in them.
• Baby animals can walk around your room in AR (augmented reality).

SAFE AND SIMPLE
• Big buttons, big text and soft colors, made for small hands.
• No ads, no chat, and we never sell data.
• Your child's voice is only used to help them read, and it never reaches our servers. In the books, Apple's speech recognition does the listening.
