Reading Coach is a at-home reading practice app designed for children in Kindergarten through Grade 5. Parents create a child profile, set a reading level, and let their child read aloud — the app listens, tracks accuracy word by word, and highlights misread words in real time. After each session, children review the words they missed and hear them pronounced correctly. Comprehension questions follow cold reads to build deeper understanding. Progress, reading speed, and accuracy are tracked over time so parents can see growth at a glance. Reading Coach adjusts to your child's level and can generate fresh reading passages on topics your child actually cares about — from dinosaurs to soccer to outer space. New passages appear in a personal reading library organized by book series. Designed for family use. No ads. No social features. Just focused, effective reading practice your child can do at home every day. Reading Coach Plus unlocks unlimited reading sessions, up to 3 child profiles, passage generation, and the full progress dashboard.
