Phonics, sight words and read-aloud stories, plus early math and logic puzzles. Kindergarten to 2nd grade. No ads, works offline. Naming the letters is the easy part. Reading the word is the job — and that is what Luvinci is built for, starting from the very first letter sound if that is where your child is. Ages 4-9. A child still learning letter sounds and a child already reading sentences can each be set to their own level, so one app covers a kindergartener and a 2nd grader without buying twice. HEARING THE SOUNDS IS THE POINT Tap a letter and your child hears it sounded out. In the read-aloud stories, every word lights up as it is spoken, so the letters on the page and the sounds in the air arrive together. A paper workbook cannot do that. The stories are written in rhyme, so the sound patterns your child is learning to hear keep coming back around. IN KINDERGARTEN - Letter sounds: what each letter says, not just what it is called - CVC words: cat, sun, big — the first words a child decodes alone - First sight words: common words read by sight instead of sounded out - Counting and number building on Montessori math boards IN 1ST GRADE - Blends: hear how two consonants run together inside one word - Short and long vowels: the difference that decides how a word is read - Spelling: build a word letter by letter and hear each sound go into place - Addition and subtraction shown on the math boards, not just drilled MOVING INTO 2ND GRADE - Vowel teams: the letter pairs that make one sound together - Longer words, and comprehension and vocabulary questions on the stories - Multiplication and times tables on the same math boards - Logic and memory puzzles that get harder as your child works through them WHY YOUR CHILD KEEPS GOING BACK Ten minutes here ends with your child having read something, not watched something. - Interactive stories that play like games, with puzzles hidden inside them - A character they design, down to the clothes and hairstyles - A coloring section for the quieter part of the day THEY CAN RUN IT THEMSELVES The menus are pictures, so a child who cannot yet read the words can still choose where to go. Set your child's level and Luvinci puts together a daily set of activities to match, so practice at home has an order to it instead of being whatever game gets tapped first. It works well as a short daily habit: after school, or as part of a homeschool morning, alongside your own curriculum rather than in place of it. WHY PARENTS PICK IT - No ads, no pop-ups, and nothing to click through to — nobody can reach your child here - Works fully offline: a whole flight with no wifi, and no help needed - Self-paced, with activities your child can replay as often as they want - Change the level as your child moves up, or for a younger or older sibling WHAT IT COSTS Download it and look around. Unlocking every section is an in-app purchase or a subscription — and there are no ads either way, paid or not. Open Learn to Read and listen to your child work out a word on their own — the first one, or the first hard one. That moment is the whole point.

Excellent Learning Game

As a Homeschool Teacher, I love this App!As homeschooling moms we strive to find the best materials, because It is our responsibility to create a quality and unique curriculum. I have three boys (8, 6, and 3 years) My oldest child is autistic and ADHD, so I found this app and checked it from a neurodivergence perspective. Luvinci is a great learning app inspires curiosity. 3 of my children were more interested in story- games section and spent the majority of their time there. Those games were a hit for all three kids. They allow kids to put the pieces together, play with interactive objects, solve puzzles, work through logic challenges. One of them said it would have been cool for the dragon to fly around the screen once you put its wings on. I love the way that each of my children came up with new ideas and solve brain puzzles in the stories. Also, Its games encourages self-determination, effort and grit. My other child loves the wizard cat there, I noticed that with the words he said, he increased the children's self-confidence and belief in themselves, saying that “you can do this, believe in yourself!” etc. I recommend it to all moms.

While reading your comment about the dragon flying around the screen, an enlightening silence hit the office! It’s a brilliant idea, and we will add this in future versions.Thank you for your wonderful feedback!We greatly admire the dedication of homeschooling moms in creating a unique and quality curriculum for their children. We’re thrilled that Luvinci is making a positive impact on your homeschooling journey.We’re glad our methodology works from a neurodivergent perspective as well. Our aim is to build a fun educational environment for kids using the power of puzzles, riddles, rhymes, and easter eggs!We want little ones to unlock their creativity, think critically, build self-confidence, and harmonize their emotions. We are also working on a new 17-page playable story about standing up to bullies. In it, Sparky the fish gets lost and challenges himself to solve his problems. We hope this story will also teach young ones about environmental awareness.Thank you for your support and for helping us make Luvinci better!

Amazing educational app!
As an early childhood educator, I find this educational app amazing! The mini-games, reading, and brain boosting activities are super helpful. The kids’ stories are great for building vocabulary for all ages. My kids love the coloring pages and it is a great way to incorporate occupational therapy for kids with hand coordination difficulties. My 9 year old daughter is obsessed with cats, so naturally the wizard cat Pawitch is her favorite among the kids’ books! The character creation section was her second favorite part, but she wishes the outfits were “endless.” For the activities and games, it would be great to show how many questions were answered correctly as well as adding a few instructions on completing the task. Overall a great game, your kids will ask for more play time!

I discovered this app and was curious about it and decided to try it. My 6 and 9 year old girls really enjoyed these creative games so much. We have used ABC Mouse, Adventure Academy as well as Duolingo, Pok Pok Montessori Preschool and some other role play games before this app. Compared to them, this app was so fun. It’s colorful and the music is very nice. We like the section that lets you create your own character. The colorful logic puzzles, math games for kids help them focus and think. Even though they were a little challenging, my older daughter helped her little sister by giving some clues on how to solve them. The educational side of it feels like Khan kids. We love the rhymes in each story and nursery rhymes. Definitely recommend this app!

Great App for Preschoolers

This is a great learning app for preschoolers! I am an early childhood educator, and the stories captivate the attention of young learners. They are excellent as they provide insight into social/emotional, critical thinking skills, and creativity. The voiceover is clear so the stories would prove to be useful for young English learners as well. My twin boys loved the Space Beaver story, and laughed at his costume a lot. It encouraged them to ask more questions about space. STEM is introduced through the mini game activities, and the logic puzzles give children a great brain workout. The music section can be developed a bit more with different instruments. Overall, this is great choice for parents and includes a wonderful variety of activities.
