This is a guided tour with a sample reader. Nothing is saved, and no child's information is collected.

How the demo works — three steps, about 15 minutes

You can skip any step and explore freely.

  1. 1. Run the placement check

    A short timed read and a few questions place the reader at the right level — the same check a real family starts with.

  2. 2. Do one 15-minute session

    Warm-up sound and syllable drills, then read the passage aloud with the decoding tools, then answer the questions.

  3. 3. See what a parent sees

    Switch to the parent view for words read, reading speed, comprehension, streaks and growth over time.
