Read Lab is a playful reading app for kids ages 6 to 12. No homework, no school tests — just short exercises kids actually enjoy, at exactly the right level. WHAT CAN YOUR CHILD DO? With Read Lab, kids practice reading comprehension across 45 levels, designed for ages 6 to 12 (1st through 6th grade). Each exercise is short (3 to 5 questions) and ends with instant feedback. No long passages, no dry workbooks — just stories that grab kids, questions that stretch them, and an interface that feels like play. • Short exercises that fit into 5 minutes • Difficulty that adapts to your child • Playful animations and big buttons, designed for small hands • 45 levels, from starter to expert • Works fully offline — in the car, on the plane, on vacation HOW DOES THE LEVEL WORK? At the start, you pick your child's age and difficulty preference (easy, normal, hard). Read Lab picks a starting level automatically. As your child practices, we watch: too easy? We suggest moving up. Too hard? We suggest a step back. Your child stays in flow — never bored, never frustrated. FOR PARENTS You don't need to sit next to your child. You set up the account, your child plays independently. In the parent dashboard, you see exactly how far they've come, where they got stuck, and which topics need extra attention. One subscription covers the whole family (up to 4 child profiles). • Up to 4 child profiles per parent account • No ads, no pop-ups, no external links without a parent PIN • Compliant with GDPR and COPPA • No tracking, no profiling, no data sold to third parties • Access, export, or delete your data at any time FREE TRIAL & SUBSCRIPTION Try Read Lab free for 14 days.

Taalknal laat kinderen van groep 2 tot en met 8 elke dag een paar minuten taal oefenen, precies op hun niveau. Elke groep heeft zijn eigen onderwerpen, net als op school. In groep 2 en 3 oefen je klanken en letters stap voor stap. Vanaf groep 4 komen spelling, woordsoorten, werkwoorden, zinsontleding, woordenschat en spreekwoorden erbij. • Rondes van vijf vragen, met een eigen wereld per ronde: een raket, een strafschop, een bakkerij en meer • Elke ronde andere zinnen en situaties, zodat oefenen niet saai wordt • Voorlezen met echte klanken, handig voor jonge lezers • Vragen die nog lastig zijn komen later terug • Een ouderruimte achter een som, met voortgang per onderdeel • Meer dan 8.000 vragen voor groep 2 tot en met 8 De eerste twee onderwerpen van elke groep zijn gratis. Met een abonnement open je alles: per maand of per jaar, te delen met je gezin via Delen met gezin. Het abonnement wordt automatisch verlengd, tenzij je het minstens 24 uur voor het einde van de periode opzegt in de instellingen van je Apple-account. Kopen gaat altijd via de ouderruimte, achter een rekensom. Geen reclame, geen account. Alles blijft op het apparaat.
