User Reviews

Read with Ello is widely praised for boosting early reading skills and confidence, with an engaging library and clear progress data that parents can use. It supports multiple ages and offers word-by-word pronunciation to aid fluency. Common drawbacks are billing/cancellation problems and a ceiling at 3rd grade, which can limit ongoing use as children advance. Some users also express desires for extra features like dictionaries or more robust parental controls, but the core program is highly effective for developing young readers.

Pros

Significantly improves children's reading skills and confidence.
Engaging, diverse library with stories that keep kids motivated.
Provides helpful progress data for parents (reading rate, words challenged, level-appropriate texts).
Word-by-word pronunciation helps kids sound out words and build fluency.
Suitable for multiple ages/grades (works for kids across several grade levels).

Cons

Billing/cancellation issues with trial period and subscription charges.
Grade level ceiling (only goes up to 3rd grade, limiting use as children advance).

My 8 year old was struggling to read we were using books then tried another app. But when we found ello after a few times she was reading. And she has improved tremendously. I tell everybody I meet about this app when they have little kids!

My son wasn’t reading at all by at the end of his 1st grade year. When I pulled him out of public school I started using Ello to help me teach him to read. We have just finished his 2nd grade year and he’s almost at his current grade level!! Ello’s “grade levels” are a little advance and I think he’s only at a 1st grade level in the app but he’s a reading level 2 (second grade) for all other books, including the “I can read!” book series. He and all his sibling love the app, it’s engaging and rewarding and overall everyone’s favorite part of our homeschool day. I started out with a free trial and knew by the end of the first week that we would pay for the subscription.
