## Description
The future of helping kids learn to read is here. See Word Reading lays out the fundamental steps in 14 engaging lessons using proven multi-sensory methods and phonics.
"I loved that it was simple and sequential. It started with a letter and guided them through the steps of reading from tracing to finding the sound and then spelling. Sometimes we give the kids too much. This was just right."
\- Annie, kindergarten teacher
See Word Reading provides pre-programmed lessons covering the fundamental sounds needed in the correct order to learn to read. That's it. Simple lessons served up in a super-fun and engaging way with images, sounds and stories! No thousands of pathways, no crazy distracting rewards systems. Just the simple steps to learn to read in 14 lessons.
LEARN-TO-READ STEPS MADE EASY FOR PARENTS
Each lesson of this "ABC app" takes one sound group through four levels of learning fun.
In level 1, it starts with tracing letters, saying the sounds and hearing your own voice shared back to you.
In level 2, readers build words using word families and the sounds they learned in the first level. This interactive practice reinforces what they just learned.
In level 3 of this reading app, your child will spell words with sound tiles.
In level 4, a story is read aloud to your Pre-K or kindergarten student as the print is highlighted. The student is able to follow along with the words of the story. Your child is then prompted to interact with the story by touching the letters that correspond to a spoken phoneme or letter sound.
AGES: 3 to 6
"This is great for reinforcing what's learned in the classroom."
\- Karen, parenting-center aide
"It helps kids learn the correct letter formation. Other apps let you trace the letter but they just keep going. See Word Reading makes kids trace correctly before moving on. They learned to make the letters the right way."
\- Carol, mother of a Pre-K student
MOTIVATIONAL
Kids are encouraged by the character Billy who applauds their efforts and cheers them on with golden stars.
