How it works

How Readeroo teaches reading

A clear path, one step at a time. Your child reads out loud, and Readeroo listens and helps.

The phonics path

100 lessons, in order. Each one builds on the last.

  1. First sounds

    Your child starts with s, a, t, p, i and n. These six sounds build more first words than any others.

  2. Blending

    Sounds join up into short words like sat, pin and tap, so reading starts early.

  3. Words and sentences

    New sounds arrive one at a time. Words grow into phrases, then full sentences.

  4. Their own stories

    Your child picks the characters and the topic, then reads a story made just for them.

Mastery before moving on.

Each step opens only when your child has got the one before it. Nobody rushes ahead and nobody falls into a gap. If a sound needs more practice, Readeroo gives more practice. It's the same idea behind systematic phonics, the approach used in UK primary schools.

Reading out loud, with someone listening.

Your child reads each sound and word aloud, and Readeroo listens and helps. A short, sharp sound makes Readeroo jump. A long sound makes him slide. Children feel the difference between sounds by playing with them.
