My Reading Coach
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Screen for handwriting difficulties in under 60 seconds. WriteTrax gives teachers an instant, evidence-based handwriting assessment from a single photograph — Photograph a student's handwriting sample. WriteTrax analyzes it across five clinical dimensions and returns a complete assessment with scores, root cause identification, and classroom-ready intervention strategies. Export a professional PDF report in one tap. HOW IT WORKS Select a student from your class roster Photograph their handwriting sample Receive a complete assessment in under 60 seconds Export a professional PDF for documentation Student names never leave your device. No cloud database. No student records transmitted. FIVE-DIMENSION SCORING Every assessment scores the sample across five dimensions aligned with established OT assessment frameworks: Letter Formation — shape accuracy, reversals, stroke direction Line Alignment — baseline contact, drift, ascender placement Spacing — letter gaps within words, spacing between words Sizing — x-height consistency, proportional accuracy Slant Consistency — angle uniformity across the sample Each dimension is scored 0–100 and weighted by grade level — a Pre-K assessment applies developmentally appropriate expectations, a high school assessment applies different ones. ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFICATION WriteTrax identifies the primary pattern driving the difficulty: Motor/Graphomotor — tremor, fatigue, pencil control Knowledge/Learning — systematic reversals, letter malformation Attention/Executive Function — inconsistent errors, quality variance Root cause drives the intervention recommendations. A motor difficulty gets different strategies than a knowledge gap. PROFESSIONAL REPORTS Every assessment generates a complete PDF including: Overall grade-adjusted score All five dimension scores with rationale Root cause attribution with supporting evidence Three-paragraph professional narrative Three to four grade-appropriate intervention strategies PROGRESS TRACKING Assess the same student over time and watch scores change. WriteTrax tracks every assessment and displays progress charts across all five dimensions. Class-level reports show score distributions and root cause patterns across your entire roster. BUILT FOR EVERY CLASSROOM WriteTrax supports Pre-K through 12th grade across three handwriting styles — printing, cursive, and joined italic. Whether you teach kindergarten, manage a special education caseload, or work as a school-based OT, WriteTrax gives you a documented baseline in under a minute.

Both are free to download. My Reading Coach sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and WriteTrax sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
