Try a real lesson. Free, no signup.
Every reading program says it works. This one lets you see for yourself before you pay anything. Pick the level that fits your child and go through two actual lessons — the same ones our families use every day.
Where is your child right now?
Still learning letter names and sounds → Start with Letters
Knows the sounds, but isn’t blending them into words yet → Start with Foundational
Reading simple words and short sentences → Start with Beginner
Reading, but slowly — and guessing on the hard words → Start with Intermediate
Older, still struggling, and tired of babyish books → Start with Advanced
Not sure? Start one level below where you think they are. It’s easier to move up than to lose a week to frustration.
One sound at a time. Every lesson introduces exactly one new thing and practices it until it’s automatic. Nothing is mixed in before it’s solid.
Made-up words on purpose. A child who reads fish might have memorized it. A child who reads shish is actually decoding. Nonsense words are how you tell the difference — and how a child builds the skill instead of the habit.
Stories they can actually read. Every word uses only what’s already been taught. No guessing from pictures, no getting stuck. Success is built into the lesson, not hoped for.
Your child reads out loud. Every page ends with the child recording their own reading. On our Daily Listening plans, a real teacher listens to that recording every day, circles the words they missed, and the app walks your child through fixing them before anything new.
One subscription. Every kid in your house.
All five apps, from first letters to fluent reading. $30 a month for your first child, $20 for the second, $15 for the third — and every child after that is free. No family ever pays more than $65 a month for the apps.
