Teach Your Kid to Read

Teach Your Kid to Read is a phonics-first reading app built for the way reading actually gets learned — a parent and child, side by side. Each short lesson teaches your child the sounds that build words, and gives you the simple corrections you need to help along the way.

What's inside
50 carefully sequenced lessons, each built around one new sound or pattern
Short instructional videos so your child sees and hears every new concept
Hands-on activities — Listen and Say, Balloon Pop, Sound Blending, Build Word, Picture Match, and more
Story reading and sequencing to put new skills into practice
Reviews that revisit earlier sounds so nothing gets left behind
Celebrations after every completed lesson

Why phonics
Your child learns to decode new words instead of memorizing them — so they can sound out words they've never seen before. That's how reading actually works: mapping letters to sounds, one at a time.

Made for parents and kids together
You're not handing your child a screen and walking away. Each session is about 10–15 minutes and structured so you can sit beside your child, prompt them, and help when they get stuck. The app shows you the right correction every time, so you both build confidence together.
No ads. No behavioral tracking. Works on iPhone and iPad.

Built by a husband-and-wife team homeschooling four kids — our third learned to read with this app.
