Wow!!!

My granddaughter is having so much fun with this program! Frankly, so is this Grandma!!! Since switching from another program only three weeks ago we are reading more words independently and recognizing more sight words!Thank you Reading.com!!!

I love this app for beginners

This app really helps my sister read . It will get challenging but it helps her journey .

Reading.com is such a blessing!

My 7yr old just started 2nd grade last week and has always been behind in reading despite showing capabilities and knowledge of his letters and sounds. I’ve tried multiple programs in the past - this is the first one he wants to do, he’s eager to put in the work and do the lessons! The hope it’s he’ll catch up to his peers this first grading period and continue to love reading! Can’t thank the creators of this ap enough!

Granddaughter loves her job of learning phonics

"My granddaughter loves to play the phonics game. She is two and a half and is already sounding out two letters together. The alphabet song is very catchy too. "

Reading. Yeah!!

I really saw the benefit in reading.com once we started our scholastic Bob books advancing beginners series. My daughter is five years old and the reading and writing was so much easier and fluid with a combination of Reading.com. The way of breaking down letters, words, the use of phonics, sound stories, reading comprehension, etc. it’s been an invaluable tool and I am so grateful. it’s so easy to use and my daughter’s confidence has skyrocketed. And the layout is just adorable! And the games are a delightful added treat to this learning app. My daughter loves the interactive home screen as well. It’s fabulous!
