Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your child reads out loud, and ReadBorn helps only when they get stuck. From first letter sounds to real books, with a baby animal to hatch in every class. Your child reads out loud. ReadBorn listens and helps only when they get stuck. It starts with letter sounds and builds, one small step at a time, to reading real books. Every class your child finishes hatches a baby animal they get to keep. Made with input from kindergarten and first-grade reading teachers. Built on systematic phonics, in line with the Science of Reading. For ages 3 to 8 and up. No ads, ever. HOW IT WORKS • Your child sees a word and reads it out loud. • If they get stuck, ReadBorn sounds it out with them: "c - a - t." • Help comes in small steps, only when needed, so your child does the reading. • Finish a class, hatch a baby animal. Collect all 108 across 18 worlds. WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS 10 levels, from first sounds to real books: • Level 0 - First Sounds: s, a, t, p, i, n (at, sat, pin) • Level 1 - First Words: m, d, g, o, c, k and ck (mat, dog, sock) • Level 2 - Word Builders: e, u, r, h, b, f, l and ff, ll, ss (pen, sun, hill) • Level 3 - The Last Letters: j, v, w, x, y, z and qu (jet, van, queen) • Level 4 - Sound Teams: ch, sh, th, ng, tch, dge (chip, ship, catch) • Level 5 - Vowel Teams: ai, ee, igh, oa, oo (rain, tree, boat) • Level 6 - Bossy R & Friends: ar, or, ur, ow, oi, er (star, fork, coin) • Level 7 - Stretch Words: longer words, no new sounds (tent, frog, spring) • Level 8 - Magic E & New Spellings: magic e, ay, ou, oy, ea and more ways to spell long a and long o (play, snake, rain) • Level 9 - Super Reader: wh, ph, quiet letters, long e and long i, then real books (when, phone, knee) FOR PARENTS • A weekly report in plain language: the days your child read, the new words they learned, and which sounds they know or still need to practice. • Set a weekly reading goal and get simple ideas for practicing together. • No jargon and no grades. • Up to 5 children on one device, each with their own profile and progress. WHAT'S INSIDE • 108 classes, 847 short lessons and 171 illustrated stories. • Each class starts with a short video, followed by games for listening, blending sounds, speaking and writing. • Your child traces every new letter, one stroke at a time. • 102 sight words, learned as whole words. • Tap any letter or word to hear it. • New stories unlock as your child learns the sounds in them. • Baby animals can walk around your room in AR (augmented reality). SAFE AND SIMPLE • Big buttons, big text and soft colors, made for small hands. • No ads, no chat, and we never sell data. • Your child's voice is only used to help them read, and it never reaches our servers. In the books, Apple's speech recognition does the listening. SUBSCRIPTION • Monthly or yearly subscription that renews automatically. • Cancel anytime in Settings.

It helps them sound it out, then lets them try again. • 171 stories that unlock as your child learns the sounds in them. • Every class they finish hatches a baby animal. There are 108 to collect. • A new weekly report for parents: the days they read, new words, and simple ideas to practice together.
