CaliKids: Read, Write & Count
Handwriting, phonics & numbers
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: try all 65 levels of the method for free — half the rounds of each one — and keep going with CaliKids Premium in reading, writing and numbers.
CaliKids is a method for learning to read, write and count, from age 2. It isn't a bundle of loose games: it's 65 levels in order, each one getting ready for the next.
Pick the age (2-3, 3-5, 5-7 or 7+) and the app teaches what comes next, at the right difficulty. It goes from first scribbles to reading sentences, from tracing an A to writing from memory, and from counting pictures to adding and taking away.
READING · 21 levels
Letters and their sounds, capitals and lowercase, vowels, rhymes, syllables, words split up and put back together, word searches and sentences to put in order. A slow voice reads aloud while a box follows along.
WRITING · 24 levels
First strokes, loops and mazes to loosen up the hand; every letter with its stroke order animated; which letters go up and which go down on the line; copying, writing without a model, and letter and word dictation. Writing starts with capitals, which are easier, and lowercase comes next. In the word exercises, the app reads what your child has written.
NUMBERS · 20 levels
Counting, comparing sizes and amounts, shapes, writing each digit, ordering from smallest to largest, adding and taking away with pictures, doubles, sharing, the number line and telling the time to the hour.
MADE FOR KIDS
• Each exercise says in one line what it's for.
• Hints and an eraser that removes just one part: mistakes are no big deal.

• Works with Apple Pencil.
• Works with VoiceOver and the system text size.
FOR THE FAMILY
• A parents panel showing what they've mastered and what they find hard, plus a review of what they find hardest.
• No ads and no accounts: progress is stored only on the device.
• In 6 languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Portuguese.
WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S PAID
All 65 levels of the method — reading, writing and numbers — can be tried for free: half the rounds of each one, between 10 and 15. To keep going after that, CaliKids Premium opens every level in full, with every word topic, and brings new content as it arrives. It's a weekly or yearly subscription that renews automatically unless you cancel it, and you manage it from your account settings. Each word topic can also be bought on its own from its game. Every purchase goes behind a parental gate first, and anyone who already had the app keeps what they had: the levels that were free stay free.

Ratings & Reviews
New: CaliKids Premium. The method has 65 levels in reading, writing and numbers, and all of them can be tried for free: half the rounds of each one, between 10 and 15. Premium opens them in full and brings every word topic, with a weekly or yearly subscription.
Every exercise picks up where you left it: the same round, with what you had done, even after closing the app. And the writing-sheet exercises now count towards passing their level.
Also, dictation now says the letter or word to write out loud, correct numbers are easier to read, the app works better with the screen reader, and the home screen has a shortcut to Premium.
If you already had the app, you keep everything you had unlocked, including the levels that were free.
