## What is Readigo?

Your child reads aloud. Readigo listens, catches every misread word, and shows you both exactly what to practice next.

Built for kids ages 6–12, Readigo turns reading practice into something children will actually do without a fight. They pick a story, tap Start, and read out loud. Misread words turn red on the spot, so kids see their stumbles the moment they happen instead of hearing about them later.

HOW THE COACHING WORKS
Readigo uses speech recognition tuned for children's voices, then grades four things: accuracy, fluency, pace, and clarity, using phonics rules from the Science of Reading. Most apps for this age don't score reading aloud. Readigo is built to do exactly that.

WHAT YOUR CHILD GETS
• A story library kids actually pick from: fairy tales, manga, and short educational stories
• Igo, a friendly lavender dragon who listens, cheers, and levels up with every book they finish
• Word-by-word feedback in the moment, so small mistakes don't harden into habits
• Storyteller mode for bedtime: the app reads the story aloud when your child just wants to listen

WHAT YOU GET AS A PARENT
• A weekly report with real numbers: books read, minutes practiced, accuracy percentage, and reading pace in words per minute
• A clear answer to "is this actually working?" instead of vague praise badges
• Ten minutes of daily practice you don't have to referee

A GOOD FIT IF
• Your 6-to-8-year-old is sounding out words and needs a patient listener
• Your 9-to-12-year-old can read but rushes, mumbles, or skips words
• You homeschool and want fluency numbers without running timed tests yourself
• Reading practice at your house tends to end in tears, theirs or yours

THE DETAILS
• App interface in English, Spanish, French, Polish, and Ukrainian
• Requires iOS 16 or later on iPhone and iPad
• Readigo Premium opens the full library and coaching

Download Readigo, hand your kid the phone, and listen from the kitchen. The first unprompted "one more page?" usually shows up within the first week.
