Was skeptical at first....

I was skeptical of even paying for this program. But I knew my child needed extra help so I went ahead and got it just to give it a try. Its amazing how fast my 1st grader started getting her letters and putting words together without struggling. It's like something just clicked even after the first few lessons. It's also something my 1st grader is excited to be doing, she actually wants to learn. Which has put a little less stress on me! I would totally recommend this program for anyone's kid that needs just a little extra push.

We’ve tried multiple apps for learning to read. They’ve all been just okay…Reading.com has engaged my new reader and she asks to play the games and do more lessons on her own! The best part is that she’s actually learning to read!! It requires parent engagement often which is nice so we can be involved too.

Worth every penny

Worth every penny. My daughter was still struggling after kindergarten putting letter sounds together. This app gives parents the guidance needed to help your child along. Within just a few lessons, my daughter was putting words together without looking to me for help. She’s blasting through her lessons and we’re having so much fun! We find ourselves singing the alphabet song often, it’s so cute and stays with you. Thank you!

Reading.com is the best child app I have ever seen. Every aspect of it is so engaging and so well thought out. The games, the lessons, the books and the story land you make your way through is all done so well. My child is excited about reading. Her aunts and uncles have commented how they notice she has an excitement about getting to read more than their children who don’t use the app. Every parent I have recommended this app to loves it. It does require a parent to sit and engage with the child through the lesson but I love this aspect. It has been a fun time for me and my daughter to bond and then I know exactly where she’s at, where she’s struggling and excelling. The games and the rest of the app is self led so it’s also a great tool for independent play as well. Can’t recommend enough.

We love it

We purchased the program for a 7 yr old with adhd who hated reading. He now asks to read daily. He loves the games especially balloon popping.( his younger siblings love it too) Today at meet the teacher I told the school all about it!
Please consider having all the children's cartoon pics appear during the lesson. They love it when that happens. But the oldest child's Pic never appears. It is minor, but a real motivator for children

This app has helped my daughter so much

This app has helped my daughter so much. She went from only knowing her letters and some of the sounds to being able to blend sounds and read books. She is so much more confident with her sounds and words and really enjoys the games that come along with her learning. I would highly recommend for 3-4 year olds.

Worth the money!Worth to subscribe !!!!

We’ve been using Reading.com to help my son learn how to read, and we really love it! ❤️ It has been especially helpful for practicing simple words and sounding them out.

One of our favorite features is the word sliders,they make it easier for my son to blend the sounds together and understand how the letters form a word. I’ve noticed that he is becoming more confident when trying to read on his own.

It’s simple, engaging, and very helpful for early readers. I’m really happy we found Reading.com and would definitely recommend it to other parents who are teaching their little ones to read! 📚❤️

This app has been such an easy way to get my daughter started with reading. She did already know her letter sounds when we started, so she flew through the first lessons and was reading the short books in no time. I’ve recommended this app to many of my friends whose kids are around age 5. If your child is ready like my daughter was, you both will love this app!

Daily progress boosting reading confidence

I like that kids can test into a higher lesson. I also like the progressive nature with spelling and reading more difficult words. My child likes doing it on an app on her tablet much better than worksheets. I wish we could totally opt out of things like the alphabet song or letter sounds if our kids are past that stage.

Kindergarten Parent Review

This app has been great for my daughter! It has helped her understand the sounds of letters and how to put them together to be able to read words. She loved the app and the educational games on the app. The only issue is the sometime there is a delay and the app freezes.

Reading.com is honestly amazing

Reading.com is honestly amazing! My son has done 42 lessons so far and went from not being able to tell me the sounds of the letters, to now being able to read actual books! Obviously it’s not Shakespeare yet lol but he’s getting the foundation for his reading life! This program is 100% worth it!

First experience with app. Dyslexic son

This was my first experience with a learning app. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. Since my son is dyslexic, learning can be quite challenging for him, but I decided to give a try. I have been genuinely pleased with it. Over time, my son had started to lose interest in learning because he gets discouraged easily, but this app has made such a positive difference for him. The exercises are varied, fun, and really engaging, and makes feel learning enjoyable. It has been wonderful to see his interest come back, and the app seems to work excellent.

It really works

It really works! My son loves the app and it has helped tremendously with teaching him how to read. I love that I get to be involved in the process so I can see the improvement in real time! I will be using this app when my younger son is of age. I cannot recommend it enough.

1st grade teacher loves this!

My daughter is really benefiting from this! As a first grade teacher I love the format and have been recommending this app to all of my friends! Some lessons are still hard for her but I'm happy to give her the previews and practice before her kindergarten teacher intros it.

It works!

It works! My son really enjoyed the books, and I love how each lesson builds on the one before it. The program is it easy to follow, and the books and games make it fun for him to practice what he’s learning.
