Readeroo

Your child reads aloud.
Readeroo responds.

Free to join. Waitlist families get the launch price.

Readeroo the kangaroo waving hello

Most reading apps never hear your child read.

They play a sound and ask your child to tap a picture. A lucky guess looks exactly like a right answer, and nobody notices when "d" comes out as "t".

And it's hard to fill the gap yourself.

Schools teach pure sounds – "sss", not "suh". Most of us learned to read a different way, so even keen parents aren't sure they're saying it right. Small slips at the start become the words your child stumbles on later.

Readeroo hears every sound.

Your child reads each sound, word and sentence out loud. If a sound isn't quite right, Readeroo models it again and lets them have another go. They only move on once they've got it.

Say the sound. Watch Readeroo jump.

In Readeroo's games, your child's voice is the controller. Say the right sound and Readeroo leaps the obstacle. Reading out loud stops being a test and becomes the way you play.

One step at a time,
from sounds to stories.

Letter sounds

Starts with s, a, t, p, i and n, the six sounds that make the most first words.

Blending

Sounds join up into words like sat, pin and tap.

Sentences

Words grow into phrases, then full sentences.

Their own stories

Your child picks the characters and the topic, and Readeroo writes a story they can read themselves.

The method schools use.

Systematic phonics, the approach taught in UK primary schools and backed by the science of reading.

100 lessons that build on each other.

Every lesson prepares your child for the next.

No gaps to fall into.

The next step only opens once your child has mastered this one.

Made for children. Built for parents.

No ads, ever.

Nothing on screen tempts your child away from learning.

They can do it on their own.

Spoken instructions guide every step, so you can get on with your day.

You'll know how they're doing.

Follow their progress lesson by lesson, and see what's coming next.

Their data, handled with care.

We collect only what learning needs. Read how we look after children's data.

One payment. Yours forever.
