Assessment & Preparation

Check your current level, track progress, set a daily streak, and prepare with a practice timer and breathing exercise.

Evidence-Based Reading Development

This program implements Structured Literacy principles—the gold-standard approach recommended by the International Dyslexia Association. Our methods are informed by research from leading organizations including the British Dyslexia Association, Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity, Reading Rockets, and National Center on Improving Literacy.

Phonological Awareness

Foundational sound training — the skill most directly linked to reading success.

Phonological Awareness Training

Research Foundation: Phonological awareness is a foundational skill for reading. Studies show targeted training has a direct impact on reading success and can change brain activity in dyslexic learners.

Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN)

Build automaticity and reading fluency

Best: 0.00 items/sec

Evidence-Based: Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN) is one of the strongest predictors of reading ability. Regular practice improves processing speed and reading fluency.

📋 Instructions:

  • Name each item out loud as quickly and accurately as possible
  • Press SPACE after naming each item
  • Try to maintain a steady, fast pace without making errors
  • The test contains 50 items (5 rows × 10 columns)

Decoding & Fluency

Word-level mastery and reading speed — the bridge between phonics and comprehension.

Decoding & Phonics Mastery

Research Foundation: Systematic, explicit phonics instruction is the remedy for decoding difficulties. Multisensory techniques (seeing, saying, writing simultaneously) cement letter-sound connections and are far more effective than implicit methods.

Fluency Development

Research Foundation: A 2017 meta-analysis of 34 studies found Repeated Reading to be “highly effective” for improving fluency in students with reading disabilities. Fluency (speed + accuracy + expression) directly boosts comprehension.

Vocabulary & Comprehension

Word knowledge and meaning-making — the goal of all reading instruction.

Vocabulary & Comprehension

Research Foundation: Dyslexic learners often absorb stories more easily by listening than reading. Using audiobooks builds vocabulary at their intellectual level. Yale Center for Dyslexia recommends multimedia to gain context, which greatly aids comprehension.

Guidance for Parents & Educators

Best practices, key research insights, and expert resources.

✓ Best Practices

  • Short, frequent sessions (10-15 minutes) are more effective than long drills
  • Immediate feedback during practice—correct errors gently in the moment
  • Celebrate small wins to build confidence and motivation
  • Multisensory practice—combine seeing, saying, and writing/tracing
  • Read aloud together daily, even for older learners

⚡ Key Research Insights

  • Early intervention yields best outcomes, but adults can also improve significantly
  • Explicit instruction is crucial—don't rely on learners to “figure it out”
  • Systematic sequencing from simple to complex with lots of review
  • Repeated reading is highly effective for building fluency
  • Gamification increases engagement and practice time

Remember: Dyslexia is not an intelligence issue—it's a different wiring of the brain. Many dyslexic individuals have exceptional strengths in creativity, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning. This program complements, but doesn't replace, professional support.
