My daughter (6) uses this app because she is falling behind a bit in reading. It's been really great for her to practice skills that she didn't have. I didn't really understand at first that many of these exercises are what happens before a kid starts reading. She's in Kindergarten, so I was expecting it to jump to reading words right away. It gets harder pretty quickly, and she likes the rewards and practicing her letters in the ferris wheel game. She's gotten a lot more confident with her reading, and I think it's because it goes back to the basics. The whole thing is really conscious of overstimulation and screen time.This app is part of a program with a real life human being! She has been great at figuring out what my daughter needs to be good at reading. The assessment they give is detailed, and I'm glad it's all backed by science.

We’re trying cut back on screen time but I’m making an exception for this app. My 4-year-old daughter only spends 15 or 20 minutes on Pip School each time we get on but her progress is unreal. Yesterday I watched in awe as she started to read 3-letter words and we’ve only had Pip School for a couple weeks. This app is clearly developed by experts. I was happy to see it teaches her each new skill and gives her feedback on her mistakes. Now she does it almost every day. She’s proud that she is learning to read.

Our teacher recommended this for our son (she said he is not doing as well as he needs to be a successful reader). I like seeing the weekly progress reports and he likes that it’s a game.

I know this is a reading intervention app, but it has been great for my young niece as well (5 years old). I can tell how it helps with her processing as she begins her reading journey. She also loves Pip and all the animal friends— especially the Elephant!
