Stop the Subscriptions. Start the Learning. Help your child master the building blocks of literacy without the monthly fees. Leo Learns is a parent-built, kid-tested educational tool designed to turn early reading into a daily win for children aged 3–6. WHY PARENTS LOVE LEO LEARNS: Most reading apps lock your child’s progress behind a paywall. We don't. Built by a tech-dad for his own kids, Leo Learns offers a premium, ad-free experience with a single one-time purchase. Real learning, real results—no strings attached. KEY FEATURES FOR EARLY LITERACY: 100+ Essential Sight Words: Master the "high-frequency" words that make up 50-75% of all children's books. Interactive Play-Based Learning: We ditch the boring flashcards for engaging "Word Walls" and games that keep kids focused. Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging voice guidance and audio feedback to build confidence with every correct word. Safe & Focused: 100% Ad-Free. No data collection. No external links. Just a safe space for your child to learn. Kindergarten Readiness: Designed specifically for Pre-K and Kindergarten students to give them a head start before Day 1. THE PROVEN METHOD: Sight words often can't be "sounded out" via traditional phonics. They require Repetition, Recognition, and Reward. Leo Learns uses this triple-threat approach to ensure words move from short-term memory to long-term mastery. PERFECT FOR: Homeschooling families looking for high-quality digital curriculum. Parents tired of shuffling index cards and paper word walls. Extra reading practice for Kindergarten or First Grade homework.

Kai Reads turns learning to read into a real adventure. Join Kai, a curious kid explorer, on a trip across four planets — each one built around a different reading skill kids need to become confident readers. WHAT KAI READS TEACHES Dino Planet — Sound It Out Practice phonics by sounding out letters one at a time, then blast the word to watch it come together. Haunted Moon — Build Words Drag letter tiles into the right order to build spelling and word-construction skills. Web Station — Catch Sight Words Quick-recognition rounds for the high-frequency "sight words" every early reader needs to know by heart. Story Planet — Read a Story Short, illustrated stories read aloud line by line, building reading fluency and a love of stories. NOW SUPPORTS IPHONE DUO Kai Reads now supports iPhone Duo. Closed, open, or partly open, in landscape or portrait, every screen adapts to the fold and stays centered and readable, clear of the camera and status area. BUILT FOR REAL KIDS, NOT JUST SCREENS Kai Reads speaks every word aloud using natural, on-device speech — no internet required to play. In Parent Settings, grown-ups can fine-tune the speaking speed and voice pitch, and pick from the best voice installed on the device (including Apple's Enhanced and Premium voices, when downloaded). STARS, STICKERS & GOALS Every correct answer earns a star. Earn 5 stars in a game to unlock its collectible sticker in Kai's Sticker Book. Parents can set daily and weekly star goals from Parent Settings, and Kai cheers when a goal is hit — turning practice into a small, repeatable win instead of an open-ended screen session. GAME CENTER Total stars and unlocked stickers sync to Game Center, so progress is never lost and kids can see their own growth over time. MADE FOR PARENTS WHO ARE PICKY ABOUT SCREEN TIME No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts, logins, or data collection beyond what's needed for Game Center. Just a focused, kid-safe reading game designed to be handed to a young reader with nothing to worry about. Kai Reads works on iPhone (including iPhone Duo) and iPad, in landscape or portrait, and is best enjoyed with the sound on.
