"I Read" helps children practise reading in a playful way, with colourful pictures and friendly characters. Six levels train different reading skills: • True or false? – read the sentence and decide if it matches the picture • Missing word – pick the word that completes the sentence • Pick the sentence – find the sentence that fits the picture • Create a sentence – put the words in the right order • Sentence memory – match sentences with pictures • Read and answer – read a short story and answer questions Children earn coins and medals and unlock reward pictures. A figure progress row shows how far they have come in each exercise. Answers are marked clearly with a check or a cross, and cheerful sounds keep children motivated. A parent gate protects the settings. The app supports VoiceOver, and the language can be set to English, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian or Finnish. No ads and no in-app purchases.
