What parents say5 notes · independent reviews

Parents most often praise its fit for special needs and how much kids enjoy it, but the main thing to watch is its value.

Parents love
  • Special-needs fitBuilt specifically for dyslexia — structured, systematic phonics in a format that reduces the shame struggling readers feel.
  • Kids enjoy itGenuinely fun, cartoon game-based lessons; kids ask to play, which keeps reluctant readers practicing.
  • Kids work independentlySelf-paced and largely self-directed online, with progress tracking parents can check.
Watch for
  • Value for moneySubscription cost adds up, and it's a supplement rather than a full reading curriculum.
  • How challengingHelpful reinforcement, but lighter than a full tutor-led OG program for severe dyslexia.

Compare alternatives

Most curriculum mistakes happen because a program sounds good in isolation. Similar options worth weighing:

All About Reading

Better if struggling or dyslexic readers and families wanting open-and-go, multisensory phonics.

Watch for Teacher-intensive (one-on-one) and pricey, though reusable.

Barton Reading & Spelling

Better if Dyslexic and struggling readers needing explicit, multisensory remediation.

All About Spelling

Better if Dyslexic spellers and families already using All About Reading.
