Learn to Read: Reading.com

Learn to Read: Reading.com is a guided early-literacy app for young children and the adults teaching them. It uses phonics lessons to build skills from recognising letters and sounds through blending sounds into words and reading simple books. The format suits parents who want a clear lesson path rather than a collection of standalone games.

What the app includes

• Structured lessons: 99 step-by-step activities give parents a defined sequence to follow, with guidance on how to present each exercise.
• Sound blending practice: Interactive sound sliders help children join individual phonemes and hear how they form a complete word.
• Level-matched books: A library of 60 decodable books lets children practise with words linked to the skills covered in their lessons.
• Extra reinforcement: Videos, games, an ABC song and printable activities support listening, letter-sound recognition, spelling and handwriting practice.

Who it suits

The app is built around shared use, with a parent or other adult working alongside the child. That makes it a better fit for families looking for guided practice at home than for children expected to work through an unsupervised reading game. The lesson scripts can also help adults who are not confident teaching phonics.
