Books that fit the sounds your
child knows.

Three books on the shelf every day, written and picked for the sounds your child has learned. Every word is checked before they see it.

7-day free trial with 3 books. Cancel anytime.

Today’s shelf: a book for a new sound, one to review, and one for fun.

What our checker sees

Your child can read this page. That’s not an accident.

Before a book goes out, our code checks every word against the sounds your child has learned. If a word doesn’t fit, the book doesn’t go out.

  1. Nobodyknown
  2. toldtaught first
  3. Noodlenew sound: oo
  4. theknown
  5. moonnew sound: oo
  6. wasknown
  7. ticklish.taught first

A sentence from Rabbit on the Moon, one of our sample books. “Told” and “ticklish” are taught first: a grown-up reads them with your child the first time.

Three books a day. Then it stops.

No games, no coins, no endless scroll. When the plan is done, the app says so and stops suggesting things.

  1. A rabbit in a space suit floats past a smiling moon.

From first sounds to first essays.

Four stages, Pre-K to Grade 8. Kids move up when they’re ready, not on their birthday.

  • A fox waves from a small boat near a lighthouse.

    Pre-K and K

  • A small green dinosaur waters a seedling in the rain.

    Grades 1–2

    Sapling

    Grades 6–8

This is the whole keyboard

Your child never types to an AI.

Pictures, word tiles and choices. There’s no chat box anywhere, so there’s nothing to type and no one to talk to.

  • Their name stays on your device.

    AI companies get a reading level and topics, never a name.

  • You turn on each feature.

    Reading aloud, recording and name-in-stories are separate choices.

  • Download or delete everything.

    All in one place, from Privacy & data.

Does my child talk to an AI?
No. Your child picks from pictures and choices. There's no chat box anywhere. AI writes and illustrates the books on our side, and our code checks every book before your child sees it.
What happens to my child's voice recordings?
Nothing, unless you turn recording on. If you do, the recording stays on the device. It's used only to count which words were read, it's never uploaded, and we keep only the score, for 30 days.
Is every book new?
No. The shelf has three books every day. Family writes 15 new books a month for your family and Family Plus writes 25. The other slots come from our library of checked books and from books worth reading again, all matched to the sounds your child knows.
Does this replace school?
No. It's daily practice that follows the same order most reading programs teach sounds in, so it fits right alongside school or homeschool.
Is this screen time?
About ten to fifteen minutes a day, with a visible end. When the plan is done, the app says so and stops suggesting new things.
What if a book is too hard?
It shouldn't be: every word is checked against the sounds your child has learned before the book reaches them. If one still is, tap Report and a person looks at it.
What's in the trial?
7 days, 3 books written for your child, and the whole library. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.
Will it work on our tablet?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser, and there's an app for iPhone and iPad. Books your child has already opened keep working if the Wi-Fi drops.

Your child’s first shelf, tomorrow morning.
