Great reading app

My daughter loves this app. The colors are bright, and the stories are fun. It keeps her busy, and she's learning while she plays.

Great Tool For Teachers

I love this app! This would be amazing in a classroom setting. The program comes with 20+ pre-made lessons plans. You can also create your own. There are charts and graphs to monitor progress, and I also like how each lesson pronounces the name of the animal they are reading about. Highly recommend!

Great learning tool

My son is in 1st grade, and they focus a lot on reading and reading comprehension. This app focuses on comprehending what he has read and what was read to him. He also gets to learn a lot about animals. The questions and tests are relevant to the stories. He seems to be really starting remember and understand what has been read instead of just simply reading or listening. The only complaint I have is I wish the voice reading the stories was an actual person instead of being computer generated. I think it would make the stories more interesting to the kids and easier to understand what was said.
