Ello

This app has been great at helping my kids with reading they struggle but through Ello there learning to read better. They love it so much they ask to play and it’s not a battle to get them to practice and learn.

Ello - Amazing for families

Recently we started using Ella with our seven-year-old, and she is so eager to learn and grow in her literacy and math skills. I highly recommend this for any family, as this will create phonics and math instruction that is engaging and at their level

A teacher-mom’s honest take

As a first grade teacher and mom, I love that Ello gives my daughter hints instead of answers and lets her read and do math at her own pace. It’s so sweet watching her read more on her own!

A parents and teachers dream

I have been in education for over 13 years, and I can honestly say that finding an app that is truly interactive, engages children in speaking, and actively builds their language arts and math skills is rare.

Ello has everything I look for when recommending learning tools for my students and my own children. It has been a game changer for my daughter. I’ve personally seen improvements in her speech, math recall, and language arts skills through using the app.

As an educator and a mom, I am genuinely such a huge fan of Ello. I wholeheartedly recommend it for every home and classroom. It’s the kind of resource that makes learning engaging while actually supporting meaningful growth!

Your 7 year old is excited about reading? Now that's a win worth celebrating! 🎉 We're thrilled Ello is helping turn reading practice into something he genuinely enjoys. Thanks for cheering us on!

big hit in our house

my child asks to do Ello every day. the app has great incentives like gems and a tree with prizes that motivate my kid to do multiple lessons in one sitting. theres content for both math and reading

Response from developer

Sounds like those gems and prizes are doing their job! 💎 We love that your child is motivated to keep learning and exploring both reading and math. Thanks for sharing the fun with us!

Kids are engaged and busy at home

There’s definitely no more yelling at kids to read or do math problems at home. Thank you!

Response from developer

Less reminding, more smiling! 😄 We're so happy Ello is helping make reading and math practice a little easier for everyone at home. Thanks for making our day!

So useful!

AI is thoughtfully integrated into the learning experience to provide personalized support and encouragement while allowing my niece to think through problems independently. So engaging, interactive and makes learning feel fun!

Response from developer

We love that your niece is getting the encouragement she needs while still figuring things out for herself! Helping kids become confident, independent learners is such an important part of Ello. Thanks for noticing the little details!

Love it!! Effective and fun

My four-year-old daughter has become so much more interested in reading since we started using Ello! She actually gets excited to sit down and read, which has been amazing to see. I love how the app makes reading fun and interactive while helping her build confidence. It’s been such a great addition to our reading routine!

How wonderful that she's already finding so much joy in reading! 📚 Seeing that excitement and confidence grow at such a young age is something special. We're so happy Ello can be part of your reading routine!

Teacher approved!

As a former teacher, I love seeing this app respond to kids’ mistakes and help them improve. It’s personalized, encouraging, and clearly based in learning science. I’ve seen it help many kids become better and more confident readers. I’m excited to see kids use it for math and ELL, too. It’s always great to see an app that really works with how kids learn.

Wow

Blown away by how much my kid loves reading with Ello more than any other app or phonics workbook we’ve tried. Gives me such joy to see him sounding out words with Ello that he’d be too shy or frustrated to practice in front of me! Also the new math activities and interactive lessons are a nice addition from the previous app.

My 2nd grader loves reading now

My kid loves creating his own stories in Ello and I love how it always challenging him to learn more!

Fun and educational

My nephew was engaged the whole time, had a lot of fun, and was able to be challenged with some of the math problems

Best AI learning app

This is completely different from everything else out there! It’s like an infinitely patient 1-1 teacher.

Motivates my early reader to actually want to read!!!

My kindergartener has been resisting reading Bob books and doesn’t have the attention span for me to help her decode words when we read together. It makes me nervous that she’s falling behind her classmates because she hasn’t even expressed an interest in reading, she just wants to be read to by me. Ello is the only reading thing she proactively asks for. She can keep going and use the app without my encouragement, and I can already see her advancing with decoding words. I actually have to tell her when it’s time to stop. Super excited that Ello is helping me support her in becoming a reader!

Response from developer

We love hearing that she's asking to read on her own! Seeing her excitement and reading skills grow so much that you have to tell her it's time to stop is exactly the kind of milestone we love to celebrate! Thank you for sharing her progress with us!

Delightful!

This app was a great way to supplement what my kindergartener is learning in school and do some phonics practice in a very engaging and delightful way. He has been asking to use Ello every day now and loves creating his own stories on the app! He also loves asking Ello questions about tigers. :)

Response from developer

Okay, we love that he's asking Ello all about tigers! 🐯 It's so fun seeing kids bring their curiosity and imagination into learning. We're thrilled he's enjoying his phonics practice and creating his own stories along the way. Thank you for sharing these sweet moments with us!

Update is top notch

My son loves it; new version is interactive, engaging, and highly personalized.

Game Changer

My daughter has been struggling to read . We have tried everything and to only end up in tears.. this program she loves and she is excited to use! Only after a month of using the free version we have noticed her trying to sound out words on her own and her speed to put words together has improved

Response from developer

This makes our hearts so happy! 💙 Hearing that your daughter is excited to read and already sounding out words on her own is incredible! Those little breakthroughs mean so much, and we're cheering her on every step of the way. Thank you for letting Ello be part of her reading journey!
