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.

I like the app, we have started our 3 year old son early. There are two flaws with the app, firstly it is in American English rather than English. Secondly the volume is awful, the alphabet song is really loud and the remaining app is too quiet. I've tried this across multiple devices but it's all the same. A real shame really as my son can't hear all the lessons. If these were fixed, it would definitely be 5 stars.

This app is worth it. My daughter needs the daily repetition of letter names and vowel sounds. It teaches phonics, blending, and sight words. You sit with your child and help them along when they are reading and working through the levels which I love. There are coloring word pages as well as games to print out along the way. She's already on level 62, and I know we will both be sad when it's over. I would love for higher levels for this so she could continue her reading practice.

The subscription is expensive so I expected a finished polished app. Going through the first lesson nothing worked right. Sliders made no sound, buttons were randomly unclickable which blocked progress requiring a reload which reset progress. The alphabet song was not built in a way to encourage singing along and it used an odd selection of vowel sounds and example words. Had this been a cheap app I might have accepted this and tried to work through it but for the price this is unacceptable.
