What Parents Are Saying

"I thought my son hated reading but turns out he just needed the right kind of help. The daily games feel like fun for him and he loves earning little prizes. It's been a big shift going from frustration to actually looking forward to reading time!

— Mom of a 5 year old

“We tried the apps. We looked at tutoring. Nothing stuck until this. My daughter is finally making progress and is even starting to read on her own!”

— Mom of 4 year old

“Having a child with dyslexia means the "standard" way of teaching reading doesn't always work. For the first time, he's not dreading reading. He's building confidence, and I'm finally feeling like we're not alone in this.”

— Dad of a 4 year old

“Sprout has been worth every penny. It’s not just extra practice — it’s actually built around my son. He’s working on exactly what he needs, and I can see his progress without having to manage it all myself.”

— Mom of a 5 year old
