Reading.com is a fun, co-play experience designed by education experts to help your kid learn to read — with the love, care, and joy only a parent and child can share.

Children are 19x more likely to learn from an app when using it with a parent (source: Psychology Today), and Reading.com is the only reading app that is specifically designed for a parent and child to use together!

A RESEARCH-BACKED APP TO LEARN TO READ



Reading.com’s phonics-based lessons are backed by research and fully scripted so you don’t need any special training or knowledge to become the most powerful teacher your child will ever have.

This is the perfect reading app for kids in preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade.

GO FROM LETTER RECOGNITION TO CONFIDENT READING



As your kid masters more letters, sounds, and words, they'll unlock a playful world of reading activities including interactive books, videos, reading games, and printable activities.

Thanks to simple guided instruction, you’ll not only experience your child mastering each phonics lesson, but will also foster a lifelong love of reading you can share together.

By lesson 10, your kid will be reading their first book!

THE MOST MEANINGFUL (TEAM)WORK OF YOUR LIFE



Each phonics lesson takes just 15 - 20 minutes to complete and they’re designed for you and your child to go at your own pace.

Lessons cover letters, letter blends, short & long vowel sounds, and digraphs, taking your child from basic alphabetic knowledge to reading at a late 1st grade/early 2nd grade level.

This is the easiest head start you’ll ever give your child!

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 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. I completed the 7 day trail and it was fun to see my 4.5 year olds cogs spinning in her head and she did enjoy it. But I did not subscribe and will look at other options in the market before committing.

That's a fair preference! You may not have seen that we offer a lifetime plan — a one-time purchase with permanent access, no subscription, and curriculum expansions (like our recent Phase 2 lessons) are included as they roll out. Email support@reading.com if you'd like help with it.

Great app. My kid asks me to practice his reading all the time and is excited to do so. Only compliant is some things should come up later than they do...for example words with nasalized a like "_an" or "_am" comes up in unison with short a words like "_at" which makes it hard for a little one to understand when the sound is changing.

Literally the best reading app! my son has speech delay and struggled with reading and this app has been a game changer. I get compliments from his speech therapist and tutor from sounding out words to reading way better then he did before. He has also improved in reading comprehension. My 4 year old just started and I am so excited for her.
