Get your child ready for the third-grade reading gate.
Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade — the big test comes in third grade, but reading readiness starts years earlier. Readiness Coach shows you exactly where your child stands today and coaches you, step by step, to get them there.

This is the moment we build toward.
The look on your child's face when a hard word finally clicks. Reading shouldn't be a battle — it should feel like this.
A real test. A real deadline. Real stakes.
Through third grade, kids learn to read. After it, they read to learn. That's why states put a reading gate there — and why catching a gap before the test changes everything. Readiness Coach is built around that one deadline: getting your child ready to pass.
See exactly where your child stands — today.
One clear number, updated from real reading. It turns "I think they're behind" into "here's the gap, and here's the plan to close it."
Not opinions. Not trends. Decades of evidence.
Skilled reading is woven from strands — and every one needs to be strong. Readiness Coach teaches and tracks each, the way the research says works.
Every skill, color-coded, at a glance.
See exactly what's mastered, what's developing, and what's next — across every reading strand. No guessing what to work on.
15 minutes a day, personalized to your child.
Every day, Readiness Coach builds a fresh plan from what your child actually did yesterday — easier where they struggled, harder where they soared. You just press play.
You're not a reading teacher. You don't have to be.
Your AI Coach is grounded in your child's real data and the science of reading. It tells you what to do tonight, in plain language, and what to say when your child gets stuck — like a reading specialist in your pocket.
It hears your child read — and knows exactly where they're stuck.
As your child reads out loud and works through activities, Readiness Coach listens with speech recognition built for young readers. It catches the exact words and sounds they trip on and turns every read into a precise next step — no grading, no guessing.
- ◆Hears every word. It listens as your child reads aloud and pinpoints the exact sounds to practice next.
- ◆Speaks your family's English. Accents and dialects are understood and counted as correct — never marked wrong.
- ◆Private by design. Your child's voice scores the read in the moment, then it's gone — never stored.
Big words, made to stick.
Each day brings one rich vocabulary word — taught in real sentences, then locked in with a picture your child will remember. See "float," picture the duck, own the word.
A Netflix of reading — binge-worthy books.
Hundreds of leveled books, serialized Book-a-Sodes with characters kids fall for, and brand-new Media Books that move.
The first books that actually move.
Media Books are a first-of-its-kind reading experience: every page comes alive with looping video and sound, and then your child reads the very words they just watched. Nothing like it has existed before — and it's built right into Readiness Coach.
- ◆Watch the page, then read the page. Motion pulls a hesitant reader in and won't let go.
- ◆Decodable, on-plan, on purpose. Every page is tied to your child's current reading skills.
- ◆Built on our own pipeline. A proprietary authoring engine you won't find anywhere else.
The whole coach — right on your phone.
No app to download. Readiness Coach runs right in your phone's browser — the readiness meter, the daily plan, your AI coach, the roadmap, and every Media Book are all there, on the couch or in the car line, wherever reading happens. Pick it back up on a laptop later; it all stays in sync.
