Best Reading App for Kids

Reading.com was a great way to get my kids wanting to read. The instructions were clear for the kids and they interacted with it so well. I appreciated the occasional instructions for parents. I was thankful for every familiar unit. After each one they wanted to keep going. I also appreciated that each unit was doable everyday. They love the Alphabet song!

Very happy

I very rarely choose to spend money on stuff like this but I am so glad I did. I have been teaching my 3 year old her letters for a while but haven’t quite started sounds. I started using this app with her everyday and by day 10 she is reading! That is crazy! And she asks to do her ABCs every day because of this app. Very impressed!

Great tool

Our granddaughter really enjoys using the app.

MY 3 YEAR OLD CAN READ WORDS!!

THIS APP DOES WHAT IT IS DESIGNED FOR. MY 3 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN ABLE TO SOUND OUT WORDS AND SLOWLY WORK HIS WAY UP TO READING THE BOOKS AT THE END OF EACH LESSON. IT IS VERY INTERACTIVE AND FUN FOR HIM. HE LITERALLY ASKS ME EVERYDAY “ MOM, CAN WE DO MY HOMEWORK,” AS HE CALLS IT. HE LOOKS FORWARD TO DOING THIS EVERYDAY. AS A PARENT BEING ABLE TO SEE AND HEAR HIM READ WORDS IS SO EXCITING!

Incredible app!!

My brother told me about the program, and we jumped on it. We stuck to the plan doing a lesson a day, and my son was reading in a month. He was excited to do the lessons, loved playing the games and he is now reading at a second/third grade level in kindergarten. W head no idea it would work with this well, but we are so happy and so proud of him!
