Reading.com: Learn to Read 4+

My preschooler asks me every afternoon if we can do our reading lesson and my 6 year old genuinely loves reading books—and does so on his own! I can’t say any of that would have been easy or even possible without this phonics app. After tons of research and talking with friends in elementary education, I know the methods of the app’s curriculum are sound. The lessons are easy to execute and my kids started showing progress in only a couple weeks. Plus, it gives us something enjoyable to do together that I don’t have to personally plan out ahead of time. It’s helped us build a lot of our family time around learning and reading. As a homeschool mom of three, I couldn’t be more thrilled to have found this app!

We are so glad that you appreciate our co-play design! Studies show that children are 19 times more likely to learn from educational apps when guided and encouraged by an adult. Reading.com's co-play experience was designed to maximize a child's learning capabilities while using our reading program.

This app easily guides me through the steps of teaching my child to read! I don’t have to worry about preparing or knowing when to teach the next concept as this app provides parent instruction before playing the activity with my daughter. I love how the lessons build on each other, preparing her for more difficult activities as we move forward on the map.

Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear that you feel equipped to teach reading with Reading.com!

My daughter is halfway through kindergarten and already knows her letter sounds, can sound words out, and is reading short sentences. She knows a list of 20+ sight words already. I downloaded this app and realized they make you start at the beginning with no real way to skip the basics. This app is of no use for a least a month for my daughter it seems, as it only lets you do 1 lesson a day, learning a new letter each day (which she already knows). It says learn at your own pace but that only means as slow as you want, not as quick as you want. My daughter had fun doing the first lesson but quickly got bored when it was too easy for her. Thank god for the free trial - I will be canceling and deleting the app. Seems like a great way to learn, but more for beginners or those having trouble.

Hello, thanks for your honest feedback. We're working on a placement assessment to place children in the right lesson according to their skills. This update will be implemented very soon. In the meantime, you can tap the "unlock" slider at the top right of a locked lesson to override the one-lesson-per-day feature. Lesson difficulty ramps up quickly, and your child will be reading their first book with you by lesson 10.
