Frequently asked questions

How will I know if the lessons are a good fit for my child?
Children who are just beginning to learn to read can start at Lesson 1 with no prior knowledge. Children who have some existing skills can take our placement assessment to ensure they begin at the lesson that is best for them.
I'm busy - how much time will this take?
Lessons take just 15-20 minutes to complete and don't require any preparation or prior knowledge.
Can this app really work for a 3-year-old?
Children as young as 3 years old can absolutely be successful with our program if they have shown interest in learning to read and demonstrate reading readiness skills.
I failed with other apps and books. Is this program actually effective?
Yes! Our program uses proven direct, explicit instructional methods backed by science, and our short, fun lessons keep kids engaged and excited to learn more.
I don't have any teaching experience - can I still use this?
Yes! Our lessons are fully scripted for the adult so you don't have to have any prior knowledge, experience, or do any additional prep to become the best teacher your child will ever have.
