KEY READING AND WRITING SKILLS
• Teaching and learning of letter-sound correspondence with a range of mini-lessons and games. Your child will learn about single sounds and beginning diagraphs.
• Interactive letter and word writing activities. Your child will learn to correctly form letters and write simple words.
• Explicit Teaching and learning of blending and segmenting skills, incorporating visual and oral modelling. Your child will learn to read and spell CVC, CVCC and CCVC words.
• Explicit mini lessons and games that teach ‘sight words’ (words with irregular spelling). Activities that turn flashcards and words into exciting learning mini games.
• Sentence construction activities that support your child to build and read full sentences.
DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN AGED 4-7+
• With only minimal support, 4-5 year olds will build knowledge, skills and confidence to get a head start on their learning journey. Your child will become a great reader! Easy as abc.
• Perfect to consolidate skills your child will learn in their first year of ‘big school’, Robot Reading can boost your child’s learning all year long. Spelling games for kids that will boost learning!
• Robot Reading is perfect for any child who is struggling with learning to read and write. Our structured approach is particularly suitable for children with dyslexia or any other learning disability.
EVIDENCE-BASED TEACHING AND LEARNING IN ROBOT READING
• Mini lessons in Robot Reading use Explicit Teaching, which means new knowledge and skills are explained and demonstrated clearly in an age-appropriate way. Education that is research-based.
• Learning activities provide frequent oral and visual demonstrations. This is a very effective evidence-based approach that is used consistently in high-performing classrooms. Worked examples are consistently being given to your child so they know exactly what they need to do and how to do it.
• Robot Reading provides immediate and effective feedback to your child, providing positive reinforcement when they are correct and extra support to try again if they are incorrect.
• The sequence of lessons incorporates Spaced Retrieval Practice, which is used by expert educators due to its basis in cognitive science research. This involves systematically planning revision to help move new knowledge to long term memory. Your child will always be practicing skills from previous lessons to help them develop ‘mastery’.
• Robot Reading is always checking for understanding through assessment. When your child shows that they do not understand a task, additional demonstrations are provided to support your child to have success.
PURPOSEFUL SCREENTIME PARENTS AND TEACHERS CAN TRUST
• High quality reading and writing activities, without in-app purchases or adverts.
• Fun mini-games and ‘brain breaks’ have been carefully planned so your child will love to play their learning adventure.

What’s New: Introducing ‘Teacher Tools’
We are excited to announce a major update to Robot Reading, providing an option from a single "Story Mode" path to a fully customizable educational platform.
This version is designed specifically to empower educators, speech pathologists, learning interventionists, and home educators with the tools they need for truly individualized instruction.
NEW: Teacher Tools & Custom Sequencing
You no longer have to follow a fixed path.
Our new Teacher Tools section allows you to take control of the curriculum. You can now:
- Create Custom Lessons: Select and sequence specific activities from across the entire app.
- Target the skills that your child needs: Isolate specific phonics gaps or literacy milestones without navigating through the story.
- Flexible Intervention: Use the app as a modular tool to supplement your existing lesson plans or therapy sessions.
Science of Reading Aligned
Robot Reading remains deeply committed to evidence-based practices.
This update makes it easier than ever to implement Systematic Synthetic Phonics (SSP) and Structured Literacy principles by targeting the core pillars of reading:
- Letter-Sound Correspondence: Explicitly teach the relationship between sounds and their written forms.
- Letter Formation: Guided practice for writing individual letters and building into full words.
- Blending: Strengthening the ability to synthesize sounds into readable words.
- Segmenting: Essential for spelling—breaking words down into individual phonemes.
- Sight Words: Focused instruction on irregular, high-frequency "heart words."
- Sentence Construction: Applying decoding skills to build and read full, fluent sentences.
Designed for Professionals & Home Educators
Speech Pathologists & Interventionists: Sequence lessons to match specific articulation or phonological targets.
- Classroom Teachers: Align activities with your weekly scope and sequence.
- Home Educators: Customize the pace and focus based on your child's unique learning profile.
- Help us reach more families and classrooms! If you find these new tools helpful, please consider leaving a review.
