Read with Bear is a calm, ad-free reading app for ages 4-7. Your child reads real storybooks with warm narration, paints and colors in a full art studio, and spells the words they just read — all in one app, all on your device. No subscription. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Buy once, keep forever. WHAT'S INSIDE Read Mode — 13 storybooks with human narration, word-by-word highlighting, and three reading levels. Tap any word to hear it again. Tap objects in the illustrations to hear what they are. Every page can be re-read as many times as your child needs. Three reading levels from beginner to advanced. Spell Mode — page-native spelling. Your child spells words from the story they just read, using letter tiles and sound-boxes. Three support levels so every kid finds a version that fits, from tiles-with-outlines to hear-it-only. No red X. No timer. No failure state. Gentle bounce-back when a tile doesn't fit, warm audio when it does. Draw Mode — a full paint studio with brushes, a color palette, and a private gallery. Turn any photo into a coloring page. Bear-themed scenes to color, plus a blank canvas your child owns. Parent Progress Dashboard — one screen shows what your child read, painted, and spelled this week. On-device. Nothing leaves your device unless you turn on iCloud sync yourself. Multi-Kid Profiles — each with their own books, artwork, and progress. Siblings never overwrite each other's work. BUILT FOR HOW KIDS ACTUALLY LEARN - Structured-literacy aligned: letter sounds, blends, sight words, and Heart Words with the tricky letters marked. - Three support tiers on every mode so a struggling kid never hits a wall and a strong kid never gets bored. - No streaks, no leaderboards, no dopamine loops. Kids come back because they want to, not because a badge is waiting. - Reduce Motion aware. Large tap targets. Guided Access friendly. Works fully offline. - Written with families raising autistic, dyslexic, ADHD, and speech-delayed kids in mind — calm, predictable, and repeatable, every time. PRIVACY No accounts. No sign-in. No third-party analytics. No third-party ads. No microphone use. Nothing about your child is sent anywhere. If you turn on iCloud, your child's drawings and progress sync only through your family's own iCloud. WHAT YOU GET - 2 free storybooks to try the whole app plus a free gift. - 11 more storybooks available individually for $2.99-$3.99 each, or all at once in the Lifetime bundle. - Every mode, every dashboard feature, every accessibility setting is included from day one. There is no "premium tier" and no subscriptions. REQUIREMENTS iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 or later. Best on iPad with Apple Pencil, but a finger works everywhere. Thank you for trying Read with Bear.
