Child excited to learn

I love how it breaks down things in the lesson and really engages parent and child!

It’s working, but…

So I have tried a few reading programs and this one seems to be one of the better ones for my son who has been struggling with reading. Couple of things I don’t like is as a homeschool dad it would be nice to do more than one lesson a day. I get the idea to do just a little bit, but I also feel it keeps me locked into the program and caps his progress. Also the hungry cloud game is kinda twisted. You have letters with eyes playing on a playground and the cloud just straight up eats them. I’m not typically weird about that stuff, but that does seem twisted and not a game for kids.

The reveiw

This is great for kids 10 and under so they made it very axcesible and easy to use great

This app is amazing

I had my son familiar with the alphabet & sounds but we were struggling with reading with my teaching. I saw an ad for this app on Instagram & thought I’d try it out. We’re on lesson 70 something & my son is only 4 but can read, with confidence! It really is amazing seeing him pick up books & bring them to me, not to read to him but for him to read to me ❤️

I am so grateful for the creation of this app so I thought I’d leave my first review on it. I tell any parent I can just how helpful it is

Great simple reading app

This app is great! Everything I needed to help my son learn how to read is laid out in this simple app. Some days we complete the whole lesson, some days we take a break in between and read the book the next day. In just a few weeks he learned how to read at a rate that left me and his preschool teacher very impressed. This is my first child and I honestly didn’t even know where or how parents began to teach their kids how to read. I was feeling frustrated and defeated but for once an Instagram add came through that I took a leap of faith in and it turned to out to be better than what I expected. I’d tell everyone trying it out, have a little patience, sit with them while they do their lesson and you will not be disappointed.
