Start your little learner with the App’s Pre-reader section, where they’ll be introduced to the letters of the alphabet and their corresponding sounds.
Your child will listen to stories, watch cheery music videos, and play letter recognition games while building phonics skills.

With 30 steps and more than 100 games and videos, the App’s Learn to Read section is designed to help your child blend letter sounds into simple words.
In our systematic phonics program, each step contains three interconnected lessons that build upon each other for effective learning.

At the end of every lesson, your child will find a customized decodable book using the words your they’ve just practiced. Reading words in context is proven to be the best way to solidify learning.
Every story has an optional audio feature with visual highlighting for reading support.

The lessons in the Pre-reader workbooks align precisely with the App to encourage letter recognition and tracing. There are parent tips, in-home activities, and mini-books to read together.

The Learn to Read workbooks pair with the App to give kids hands-on practice blending letter sounds together to read and write words. Discussion questions build fluency while rewards stickers celebrate success.

Printed readers composed of the words your child has just learned are a great way to encourage a new reader to pick up a book and read. Imagine how proud your child will feel after reading their first books!
