CAPIT Reading vs Reading Hero

CAPIT Reading: Learn to Read by Playing with Sounds (TK-2 | 5+) CAPIT Reading teaches students to read without “verbal instructions.” Native English speaking students and ELL students learn to read by intuitively creating letters, blending words, and assembling sentences. CAPIT Reading is a dynamic instructional tool that advances learners in phonics as they demonstrate mastery and automaticity of foundational skills. It is 100% Learning 100% of the Time. CAPIT Reading is not a game or “Edutainment.” It has no monsters, spaceships, or letter-eating-frogs. It has no currencies, badges, point system, or any kind of extrinsic rewards. It is what you would expect from a curriculum that teaches students to decode, write, spell, and read with fluency and comprehension. When students learn to read by “Playing with Sounds,” they stay engaged, entertained, and motivated to level-up. CAPIT supplements all core Language Arts curricula by offering self-paces phonics instruction and a complete writing component that supports ELL, struggling and gifted students. CAPIT was built upon very specific research on early reading instruction, child development, and cognitive science. CAPIT is available for classrooms and single users (TK-2 | 5+). CAPIT Reading requires a constant internet connection. https://capitlearning.com/terms-of-use

Reading Hero is the only reading app that makes a game out of sight word reading, while providing real-time feedback! We use voice recognition to tell if a word was read correctly, and give feedback with audio recordings from a real teacher! The app uses DOLCH words, which is a research-backed collection of the most common words in the English language (used by schools across the country to assess reading proficiency). The difficulty of the DOLCH words increases as you complete each level. It is ideal for children ages 4-8 (pre-K to third grade) who are learning to read, or English learners of any age. Best of all, it is completely free, and has zero advertisements! Created by teachers, for anyone learning to read.
