What you'd hear
A child reads three words aloud. We score each phoneme, then decide the next sound to practice.
01
Phonics first
Every letter-sound is taught directly, in a planned sequence. No guessing from pictures.
02
Real listening
Purpose-built speech assessment scores pronunciation at the phoneme level — not chatbot approximation.
03
Mastery, not minutes
Default sessions are 15–20 minutes. We optimize for skill per minute, not time on app.
04
You, in the loop
Weekly plain-English reports. One concrete thing to practice offline with your kid.
What shapes our approach
A short list of things we believe.
- 1 Structured-literacy instruction — the approach validated by the National Reading Panel and over 40 recent US state laws.
- 2 Alignment-free CTC-based goodness-of-pronunciation scoring — better on child speech than traditional forced-alignment methods.
- 3 Spaced review on a 1 / 3 / 7 / 14 / 30 / 60 day schedule. Exposure without mastery produces the Grade-3 reading cliff.
- 4 Human connection treated as load-bearing, not decorative — dialogic read-alouds, parent-as-co-teacher mode.
