Learn to Read with Tico AI

Most reading apps talk at your child. Tico listens back — hearing them read aloud and gently helping the moment they get stuck. Ages 3–8.

Most reading apps talk at your child. Tico listens back. Your child reads a story out loud. Tico hears every word — and when they stumble, it steps in gently, the way a patient grown-up would. No buzzers. No red X. Just a nudge, and then let's keep going.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick a story. Short and simple, or longer as your child grows.
2. Your child reads it out loud.
3. Tico listens, helps with the hard words, and celebrates the finish.

If your child isn't ready to read alone yet, Tico will read the story to them first. They can listen, follow along, and try it themselves when they feel like it. There's no wrong way to start.

GENTLE BY DESIGN

Reading out loud takes nerve when you're five. A harsh correction can put a child off for weeks.

So Tico waits. It gives your child room to work it out, and only helps when they need it. Every session ends on something they did well — because a child who feels capable comes back tomorrow.

GROWS WITH YOUR CHILD

• Beginner stories for children just starting out — short sentences, familiar words
• Growing stories for confident readers ready for more
• Designed for ages 3 to 8, from first words through early independent reading

CHOOSE TICO'S VOICE

Pick the voice that suits your child, including Apple's premium voices for the most natural sound. Some children settle in faster with a voice that feels familiar.

FOUR LANGUAGES

Read in English, French, Spanish, or German. Useful for bilingual families and for children learning a second language at school.

FOR PARENTS

A simple report shows you what your child actually did — which stories they read, which words gave them trouble, and how they're improving over time.

You don't have to sit beside them to know how it's going. And when you do sit down together, you'll know exactly which words to practice.

Add up to 4 child profiles. Each With their own report card.

WHY PARENTS CHOOSE TICO

• Your child does the reading — not the app
• Gentle correction that builds confidence instead of dread
• Real progress you can see, not a score you can't interpret
• Made for practice, not for passing time

Reading fluency comes from reading out loud. Children who practise aloud read better, faster, and with more confidence — but most kids only get a few minutes of it a day, usually with a tired parent at bedtime.

Tico gives them a patient listener whenever they want one.
