THE BEST APP I HAVE EVER DOWNLOADED!!! My son was about 3.5 when I had him start. Initially I was a little worried if it was too early for him to start but I decided why not. Each lesson is very interactive and is the perfect amount of information for a kid to learn, process, and retain. It is simple to use, and the pace is amazing. I try to limit the amount of screen time he has and when he does get screen time I try to make have it be something educational, which is why I initially installed the app. I thought it was going to be just another app of false advertising and he may learn some things here and there. To say I’m absolutely blown away and the amount he has learned in such a short time is an understatement. He now reads things like while we’re driving, shopping, or out doing something without being prompted and now just guessing based off pictures. The lessons are so require someone to be sitting with the child to help them, but each lesson takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes. I am constantly recommending it to all my friends with young kids because of how great it is. Outside of the lessons there are interactive games both on the app and available to print out as well as videos and books from the lessons. It is $80 to unlock the full use of the app but for what your child would get out of it it’s worth much more than that. My son is now 4 and will be starting kindergarten next year but he’ll be entering kindergarten with a beginner 2nd grade reading level. Again I recommend this app ten times over for any parent wanting to get a head start or use it to help their child’s reading, writing, spelling, and comprehension.

I purchased this app in September 2025 my daughter was a Kindergartner. She expressed interest in improving her reading because in school kids were being put into reading groups and she wanted to join group 2 or 3. She was currently still in group 1 working on sight words. For the next 90 days, we both dedicated Monday-Friday a time for both of us to “play” on Reading.com it was fun, interactive and it kept us engaged. As the end of each level it evaluates how “challenging” that lesson was for your child, which I love! That December my daughter was reading at 1st grade level. This app has been amazing! Best investment I’ve made! & I love to share with other moms in my daughter’s class.

I was really nervous to start teaching my oldest how to read, I just wasn’t sure where to start. So, I started the program with my 5 year old and she has gotten so much more confident with her letter recognition and can now read short sentences. My 3 year old is now moving through the lessons and can read through an entire book! As a former teacher I know that literacy is a skill that children need in every subject to be successful and I am confident that my children will continue to grow in their reading skills and enjoy school without having to struggle reading.

It’s been great! My son is excited to do his reading every day and often wants to do more than one lesson. This app turns reading into a “get to!” instead of a “have to.”

Grab your coffee because this is long. We are based in Canada and my son was going to public school so the individualized attention of the pace of reading was extremely slow and it was easy to fall into crack. Which is what happened to my son where he skipped reading parts or just barely scraped the already under developed program there. Now when we started reading.com this was replacing my screen time, love the lesson reinforcements, the sound it out then the bar, games unblocked at various lessons and the comprehension was the cherry on top. If it even was 200-250 ish for a year I wouldn’t hesitate by all the support and how the child reaches out for it rather than random videos or games. This is a jackpot!

My 4.5 year old has been struggling with simple letter recognition for last 2 years. As a last ditch effort we tried reading.com hoping she could get there and we could move on to letter sounds and then reading. I obviously was going about it wrong because I’m just 10 lessons, she is already recognizing letters, sounds, and putting together 2-3 letter words! And everyday builds on the previous day always continuing to reinforce and it has been great

This App is amazing and well worth the price. My Granddaughter is 4 years old, and after only a few months of using the app, she is starting to read on her own. The lessons are short, so she doesn't lose interest, and she absolutely loves the games, which she learns from as well. I would recommend this App to anyone starting the process of teaching their child to read.

The app is fabulous. So much better than anything else. It’s low distraction so not a 1000 things going on at the same time which doesn’t work for my ADHD boy. The fact that you do it with your kids gets them excited and having the sliders for the sounds is so useful for them to build confidence.
