Phonics for Kids - ReadBorn

New: the Sound Car. Your child drives it under each word and blends the sounds out loud. 156 stories, 198 baby animals to hatch. Ages 3-8+, no ads.

Your child sounds out their first words, letter by letter, and hatches a baby animal after every story they read.

Designed with input from K-1 reading teachers. Built on systematic phonics (Science of Reading aligned). Ages 3-8+. No ads, ever.

HOW IT WORKS • Your child sees a word and tries to read it out loud. • The app listens. If they get stuck, it gently sounds out each letter to help: "C - A - T." • The help only grows when they need it, so your child does the reading, not the app. • Every story they finish hatches an egg into a cute baby animal to keep. Collect all 188 across 17 worlds.

A PROFILE FOR EVERY CHILD • Up to 5 kids on one device, each with their own cute animal avatar. • Every child keeps their own progress, level, and reading path. • Switch between children in a single tap.

FOR GROWN-UPS: THE REPORT CARD • A plain-English look at how your reader is doing. • Their reading level, day streak, animals hatched, and a sound-by-sound view of what they've mastered. • See exactly what to practice next. No jargon, no scores that sting.
