Amazing!

I have recommended this app to friends, family, and clients. Love that there are games to help kids gain general interest in learning letter sounds, spelling, etc. I also appreciate the self-reflection that it teaches kids to have during the lessons (which helped when he was too tired and needed a break) and after each lesson. My son was motivated most by the presents at the end of the lessons and the funny noises that the characters made on the map! They really thought of everything to support kids in what can be a very hard skill.

We love it

My five year-old loves this app. She’s doing an amazing job on just her first day of learning and working with the app.

It Really Works

I started Aug 2025 with my 4yr old and by April she was able to do the lessons by herself. We completed all courses beginning of July and she reads so well. Of course common issues with mistaking d for b & tricky long vowel sounds in some words, but very impressed

Too much

Too much price for subscription, doesn’t make any sense 😡😡😡😡
