A Smarter Start For Little Readers

The talking sound book that takes kids ages 3+ from letters, to words, to full stories, without a screen.

So they don’t just listen along…

They start sounding out words, reading on their own… and asking for one more page.

The Early Advantage That Starts With Reading

4 in 10 fourth graders now read below the most basic level.

Most of them never got solid on the early sounds of reading.

By then, they’re not learning to read… they’re trying to catch up.

The difference isn’t intelligence. It’s practice.

Give your child the head start most never get.

  • 40 sight words: the little words that show up in every story
  • 40 CVC words: simple three-letter words like cat, sun and hop
  • 200+ common words and phrases: everyday vocabulary, read aloud
  • 17 leveled stories: short stories that build from easy to more advanced
  • 31 songs: 27 children’s songs plus 4 sing-and-move songs
  • Waterproof pages: wipe-clean and made for little hands

How will this help your child?

  • Hears it the right way first. Every letter and word is read aloud, so your child hears how it sounds before trying it.
  • Builds step by step. It starts with letters, moves to words, then stories, so each level feels doable.
  • Learns to sound out words. CVC words help them blend sounds together, an early step toward reading on their own.
  • Practices without a screen. They get the press-and-listen fun of an app, with a real book in their hands.
  • Learns while moving. The sing-and-move songs get them up and dancing to the words.
  • Builds reading confidence. Short leveled stories let them feel the win of finishing a page.
