What children and parents say
Reading starts to feel easier, at school and at home.
Short, guided sessions help them begin, keep going, and talk about the story they just read.
“For the first time I don't have to deal with the frustration that reading after a long school day can bring. My child wants to read to his Character and get feedback at the end of the session, he loves to get answers right.”
“It helps me read and helps me to understand the story more.”
“It's a good app for reading. I like that I can answer questions on the story and what it's about.”
