WHY ROBOT READING IS DIFFERENT
Most reading apps for kids rely on guessing, picture clues or memorizing whole words. Robot Reading is built on Systematic Synthetic Phonics, the same approach used in top schools backed by decades of literacy research. Your child learns the sound-letter code of English, step by step, so they can read and write any word, not just the ones they have memorized. Every activity is purposefully sequenced. Nothing is random. Each phonics lesson builds on the last, creating real mastery.
WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS
Robot Reading covers the most important core reading and writing skills from your child's first year of school:
Letter-sounds (phonics) — every letter-sound relationship, taught clearly from lesson one
Reading and spelling — sounding out and real words using phonics knowledge
Letter and word writing — correct letter formation modeled step by step
Sight words — the irregular words every young reader needs to recognize instantly
Sentences — read and build full sentences with growing independence
A complete phonics program for kids ages 3 to 9, aligned with kindergarten and first grade classroom frameworks used across the Australia.
RIGHT FOR EVERY AGE SPECIFICALLY 3 TO 9
Ages 3–5: Give your child the strongest start before school begins. Robot Reading introduces phonics and early reading skills through play, building real foundations before kindergarten.
Ages 5–6: Support exactly what your child is learning in class. Just 20 minutes of reading practice, 3–5 times a week, delivers measurable progress across the full school year.
Ages 7+: Ideal for children who need extra reading support. The structured, sequential approach makes Robot Reading one of the most effective reading apps for kids with dyslexia or other learning differences — a clear, supported path with no frustration.

A Must-Have Tool for Supporting Kids’ Reading at Home
The GDub
With a background in speech pathology and primary teaching, and now as a father of three primary school–aged kids, I’m pretty picky about learning apps. Robot Reading has been a pleasant surprise.The phonics approach is clear, well structured, and builds skills logically step by step. I like that it focuses on the fundamentals, letter sounds, blending, and early word reading, without overloading kids with flashy distractions. The activities feel purposeful, and the repetition plus immediate feedback really helps concepts stick.From a parent’s point of view, it’s easy for children to use independently, and the robot theme keeps things light and engaging without taking over the learning 🤖📚I also appreciate that it’s ad-free and stays focused on reading, which is refreshing.Overall, Robot Reading feels thoughtfully designed and genuinely educational. It’s a solid option for families looking to support early literacy at home in a way that’s effective, approachable, and kid-friendly.
Reinforce foundational reading skills
Anna Glamour
A bright, fun and engaging way for kids to learn and practise the various phonics and early letter formation skills they need to start reading (and writing) with confidence. By using letter-sound correspondences to perform identification and sorting tasks, and blend and segment regular words, they will build automaticity without even realising it, because saving Planet Orth from terrible Tron is so motivating! With a clear sequence of age-appropriate activities, and immediate feedback and encouragement, this app is evidently informed both by reading research and teaching expertise.

As a kindergarten teacher, I’m always searching for tools that make early reading and writing feel joyful and accessible, and this app immediately stood out to me. The activities are thoughtfully designed, age-appropriate, and full of opportunities for children to practice essential literacy skills in an engaging way.What I especially appreciate is how the robot storyline creates a sense of adventure that I know my students will love. It transforms reading and writing practice into something playful and exciting — which is exactly what young learners need. I can already imagine how much enthusiasm this theme will spark during our literacy centers and small-group activities.It feels like a wonderful tool for helping children build foundational reading and writing skills while keeping them engaged every step of the way.
Highly recommended

I bought robot reading for my grandson who is in kindergarten. He is loving making the robots move, and learning how to read. He is also writing letters with the paper and pencil tool. He loves showing me how it works. I am very pleased with the high quality of the app.
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.
