About this app

Your child is smart. Reading just hasn't clicked yet, and that's not your fault, or theirs. Poppins Learning is a reading app for kids ages 7 to 11 who struggle with reading, including dyslexia, built on the Science of Reading and studied in a published clinical trial. Just 20 minutes a day at home builds the phonics and decoding skills behind confident, independent reading.

HELP YOUR CHILD READ, RIGHT FROM HOME
If your child finds reading hard, you are not alone, and it is not their fault. Most reading apps were never built for a struggling reader. Poppins Learning is. It turns daily reading practice into games your child actually wants to open, so 20 minutes a day feels less like a fight at the kitchen table and more like fun.

HOW POPPINS LEARNING WORKS
- Rhythm games build phonological awareness and decoding, the foundations of reading
- Written-language games strengthen letter-sound knowledge and word reading
- Short daily sessions of about 20 minutes, on your schedule
- Designed for kids with dyslexia and other struggling readers, ages 7 to 11
- Screen time capped automatically, with no ads built to keep kids hooked

WHAT PARENTS SEE
- Concrete progress in reading over time
- A child who needs less help and reads with more independence
- Reading practice that happens at home, without the weekly drive to a tutor
- A daily habit your child does not fight

WHO POPPINS LEARNING IS FOR
- Parents of kids ages 7-11 with dyslexia, or a struggling reader who is falling behind grade level
- Families who want reading help at home, with or without a tutor or reading specialist
- Families who want structured literacy and phonics practice grounded in the Science of Reading
- Homeschoolers looking for a dyslexia-aware reading program

WHAT YOUR CHILD PRACTICES
- Phonological awareness: hearing and working with the sounds in words
- Phonics and decoding: connecting sounds to letters to read new words
- Reading fluency: reading more smoothly, with less effort over time

ON ITS OWN, OR TO COMPLEMENT A SPECIALIST
You don't need a tutor or a reading specialist to begin. Many families use Poppins Learning entirely on its own, as daily phonics and decoding practice at home. And if your child does work with a reading specialist, tutor, or teacher, Poppins Learning slots between sessions so progress keeps going every day of the week, whether you already have help in place or you're still on a waitlist. Either way, it's designed to support, not replace, professional help when your child needs it.

BUILT ON SCIENCE
Poppins Learning is grounded in rhythm-and-reading neuroscience and designed with neuroscientists. Our approach has been studied across four clinical trials, two of them randomized controlled, with results from the first published in Scientific Reports, a Nature Portfolio journal, 2025.
