Help for Early Readers

Screen time with a huge benefit: learning to read

See your child delight in games which lead to real reading progress

As parents, it can be difficult to know what apps are right for our children’s screen time. We want our children to be entertained and kept busy, but we also want to make sure it isn’t damaging.

Our All Aboard app has been designed to get this balance just right. You will find a mix of games which target early reading skills (letter recognition, phonemic awareness, blending) and also make the child excited and happy.

The games are designed to have just the right level of stimulation, with classic drawing designs, nice bright colours and gentle animations and sounds.

Your child will be asking you to play games on your phone every day… but ones which are teaching him or her to read!

The All Aboard app combines the following principles to keep children having fun and making progress:

Genuinely fun game-based lessons for good engagement and enjoyment
A visual approach which suits the children’s brains
Covering all the essential foundation reading skills: phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and blending
Adaptive lessons which are just the right level for each individual learner

What you can expect from the All Aboard app

Quick, easy lessons made up of engaging games and activities
A unique visual phonics method proven to work better
Alphabet and phonics sounds covered comprehensively
Building of essential foundation reading skills: grapheme recognition, phonemic awareness, blending, memory
Adapts to the right pace for your child
Variety of games which children love
Guilt-free screen time which is both fun AND educational
No ads
Free of charge

Short lessons for full engagement - on phone or tablet

Engaging young children in reading becomes easy when it’s made to be fun from the start, rather than daunting and stressful. All you need is your phone or tablet. You can open the app each day for a new, unique lesson made up of games and activities which target reading skills while giving the child fun, rewarding screen time.

Adapts to be just the right level for the child

Our focus is on moving forward at the pace of each child, without causing the stress and resistance that can build up so fast, when you use the older (and much more boring!) phonics methods. Every game adapts to the ability it senses, in real time during the play. That way every child is kept in a zone of gently challenging fun. That is how you can get the quickest progress for the individual, rather than some “average” child. If the level of challenge feels too high or too low for an individual learner, then the feedback we get from the learner also adjusts how challenging each game feels the next time it is played.

Free app with no ads

The daily 15-minute lesson is free, with the option to pay for a library of ebooks. We believe that children’s apps should not have ads, and so you will not find any in All Aboard. You will also find a classic design with gentle colours to achieve the right level of stimulation for the child. There are no annoying jingles or colour explosions to be found!

Essential foundation reading skills

All Aboard will assess how much your child already knows about letters and sounds and adapt accordingly.

The activities work on letter and sound recognition, phonemic awareness, blending, short term memory, word decoding and spelling. In other words, all the essential skills for having a strong foundation and the best chance of success with learning to read.

Getting started

You can get started today by downloading the beta version of the app. It is completely free - we just ask for any feedback you have at the end of each lesson.

As a parent working through the 20/21 school year in distance learning with 3 elementary kids, there were at least some positive upsides. For example, my daughter Laine’s (2nd grade, 8 years old at start) reading ability (when she is such a bright, exuberant, creative, SMART kid) kept me up at night. Something was not connecting. No amount of pressure or more reading was making up for the missing pieces in her ability to read. I was literally awake in the middle of the night, by chance watching Dr. Morgan’s Facebook ad and knew he was talking about my daughter. I started crying and felt I had been given such a gift. By morning in February 2021 she was signed up and on her way to decoding and cracking her reading struggles. It’s not been easy all the time, we have struggled through some lessons with tears and frustration. BUT today, Laine passed her 223 lesson, earned her helicopter (the code words/spy prizes have been a great motivator), and has gone from a 1.5 grade reading level to reading at a 5th grade level with limited assistance in only 10 months. I am so grateful for the Easyread program. Their attention to detail, one on one phone calls and Zoom meet ups, quick response time to questions, and consideration for my kid’s development has made us feel cared for each step of the way. If you have looked into the Easyread program and David’s description of your child’s reading journey hits home, run don’t walk to sign up. It has been one of our favorite blessings of this crazy year and I shout it’s praises to anyone who has a struggling reader.

I was really skeptical about this for my 8 year old, how can 15 minutes a day and video, and games work? He struggled with blending and decoding. He know can use the trainer texts faster then I can figure out the word myself to see if he is correct. The system moves as he needs and the personal support is amazing.

What a fantastic programme! Our 8 yr old made such rapid progress I began to doubt myself whether she had had issues in the first place! When we looked at the video recording made at the beginning of the programme, her progress was remarkable within just a few weeks. She asks to do the session every day and complains if I don't have time - a massive difference from a child who used to invent the most incredible excuses to avoid reading before this. She now reads books in her own time and is even starting to get her head around spelling - all in less than 2 months. The personalised support from the Easyread facilitators is much better than I expected from an online course and the prizes are great too! Thank you Easyread!

Our daughter has loved the Easyread program. She thinks she is just playing fun games on the computer but she's actually improving her reading and spelling skills. Her Spelling grades have improved from 50% to 90% in only a few months. Thank you Easyread for an amazing program! I would highly recommend your program for any children struggling to read and spell.

Wow, this program works! My 9-year old became a more fluent reader within weeks of starting, and she really enjoyed doing the assignments (structured like fun games) every day! She never complained about it once, even 2 months in she was excited to decode the words and play the games in Easyread. And she has so much more confidence now. Thank you Easyread!
