I use Reading.com to supplement my daughter’s school curriculum. I felt like after kindergarten, my daughter wasn’t prepared enough for first grade. During the summer, we tried Reading.com. I quickly... See more

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 work... See more

Best money I’ve ever spent

I started reading.com almost a year ago when my daughter was 3 and knew all her letters and letter sounds, but we were struggling with sound blending. The lessons helped close that gap and now we are 3/4 through the program and she’s reading at a first grade level as a young 4 year old! We’ve just taken it slow and steady, with breaks as needed. She loves the games and there are built-in rewards that help keep your child motivated. She loves to open her presents at the end of a lesson. We’ve even done some of the printable activities to help drill certain skills and sight words. I can’t recommend it enough!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I purchased this for my 5 yr granddaughter on Aug 17th. Since that day she hasn’t put in down. She’s always loved reading and learning since she was a baby. My little one is completing multiple lessons a day. It’s given her the extra boast of confidence to read on her own. If you’re going to give your child a tablet this is the program you little one should be using his or her tablet for . Definitely with the time and money !

My experience with Reading.com

My daughter is doing amazing using reading.com. She's only on lesson 24 and can read short words. When we started a few short weeks ago she didn't know most of her letters or sounds. The only thing I don't like is that I have to hold her hand for the lessons. That's hard to do when homeschooling multiple children who need help.

This is the ONLY thing that worked!!!

Reading.com has been an absolute game changer for my kiddo who is autistic. We tried so many different approaches to help her learn to read, and this was the only program that actually worked for her!
It gave her the structure and repetition in these focused small incriments she needed without making reading feel overwhelming or frustrating. Watching her begin to start reading has been incredible. Literal tears of joy!
I am genuinely so grateful we found Reading.com and I would recommend it without hesitation to any parent who has a child struggling to learn to read. Absolutely the best for brand new readers.

Your kids will love it!

Well its all about how my little one likes it. The fact that she asks me everyday, "Mommy can I do my homework?" Should give you a hint. She loves to learn. This app helps her and they make it fun and easy. Keep it up because we really enjoy it. Thank you.

My son was struggling to read

My son was struggling to read. So I researched any apps that could help. Found Reading.com, He’s one month in and already knows how to read on his own! Definitely recommend this app!! Wish I’d known about it sooner!!

Great Experience

This has been a great experience for my son and I. I wanted him to start Kinder feeling confident with his letters and reading skills and this has done exactly that. Having a physical slider has been the most helpful aspect and really enables him to go at his own pace when sounding out. It’s also helped lead me teaching/helping because I definitely don’t remember how I first started! Now that he is in school full time we just do it on the weekends and even then it’s been a good add in! We are even starting his little sister on it, who is almost 4.

My daughter was struggling with reading…

My daughter was struggling with reading at the end of Kindergarten and I worried about her being ready for first grade. We are about 3/4 of the way through the program and she is excelling with this program. She finds it fun, the length of lessons is perfect and it is working. She is reading on or above her grade level now and most importantly has gained so much h confidence.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for…

I do a lesson every day with my four year-old grandson, and he is totally focused on each part of it. The encouragement he receives whenever he completes a task is a great motivator.
My two year-old granddaughter asks every day when she wakes up from her nap if we can do “learning”. While she’s not ready yet to sound out words. she is definitely learning the letter sounds from the alphabet song.

Best

Honestly, I love this app! My 5-year-old has learned so much from it, and I’ve noticed such a big improvement in his reading and confidence. He actually enjoys using it, which makes learning so much easier.

Definitely recommend it to any parent whose little one is learning to read!

My 4 year old can READ!

My 4 year old can READ! I wish I’d known about reading.com for my other kiddos. I already know my son will start kindergarten way ahead next year!!! He’s practicing sounding out words everywhere we go now! If you’re on the fence, do it!!

I know there are a a lot of education…

I know there are a a lot of education apps on the internet and it's very normal to be skeptical for anything that charges a subscription, but I believe that this is probably one of the best investments I've made for my son. He's done about 108 reading lessons and he's reading well advanced of his age at only four years old! Thank you reading.com!
