Real Reviews From Real Users Great for beginning readers and those with a reading disability My kindergarten son was diagnosed with dyslexia, and this app has been wonderful for him! The books progress logically based on reading level, which is surprisingly difficult to find. So often books for beginning readers are all over the place phonetically. If he gets stuck on a word, he can touch the text to hear it sounded out. I like that it asks questions throughout the stories to assess reading comprehension and that at the end of books they go over letter sounds and blends that will be coming in the next book. He feels accomplished as he moves up each level. It’s really been the best app we have found for him so far. Best system for teaching reading We used this program to teach all three of our kids to read. Our first child was with the paper books. By the second set they were each ready to move on to bigger books by themselves. I can’t praise these books enough! Love Sam! I can’t praise these books enough! I’ve read them with 5 kids now and they are the best at introducing books to kids and developing reading skills. Thank you for making an app! ---Features--- • Easy-to-use Audio Prompts and Audio Modeling of Words and Sounds • Audio Recording and Playback of Student Reading • Aligned with Common Core State Standards • Research-Proven Skill Introduction Sequence • Engaging Artwork and Storylines • Gradual, Systematic Introduction of New Material ---Highly Customizable Controls--- • Turn Off/On Audio Cues • Turn Off/On Read to Me • Turn Off/On Audio Recording • Hide/Unhide Story Pictures • Adjust Font Size ---Reading Skills Addressed--- • Phonemic Awareness • Alphabetic Principle • Decoding • Oral Reading Fluency • Reading Comprehension Reading For All Learners is Flexible: Use the program for one-on-one, small-group, large-group, instructor-led, or independent practice settings.
