Helping your child read with Readability!

September 14, 2021 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

My Take on Readability

What I loved about this app is that Readability really allows your child to read books/passages that are at a level that they are at. The book highlights the words you are supposed to be reading aloud and as it listens to your words it will help you along too. For example, if you cannot read a specific word a message will pop up prompting you to ask for help by clicking on the speaker button and it will allow your child to hear what they are supposed to be reading.

On top of this, there is a HUGE array of books and passages that your child will be able to select from. Each lesson is set for 30 minutes and it allows your child to really get into a myriad of topics while still pushing them to enhance their reading and reading comprehension.

For the price you really get a ton that will help your child get to the next level of reading with Readability!

About Readability

Readability is the only learning app of its kind to help improve reading and comprehension in young and struggling readers, making it unlike anything else on the market. Readability brings together Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Advanced Speech Recognition, Comprehension with Interactive Voice-based Questions & Answers, Fun Content, Real-Time Performance Tracking, and Gamification within one mobile app to help young children become strong readers.

Practicing pace and pronunciation through reading aloud helps kids build the foundation needed to become excellent readers. With Readability, they’ll also learn a variety of reading skills including accuracy, fluency, speed, decoding, and comprehension. In addition, their confidence will blossom and so will their passion for reading.

Tips for parents (From Readability)

Designate a regular time and place for reading.
Readability works best in a quiet environment or with headphones.
Learning to read is challenging! Gentle encouragement and positive feedback are key.
Encourage your child to speak with a strong voice towards the device.
Encourage your child to speak clearly by enunciating syllables as well as long and short vowel sounds.

Beloved family brand American Girl just released a new mobile app today for 5-7 year old children – WellieWishers: Garden Fun on iOS and Android. Given your focus on parenting, I wanted to see if you’d be interested in featuring WellieWishers: Garden Fun on Dad of Divas, as I think it’s a game your readers’ kids are sure to love.

WellieWishers are a sweet and silly group of girls who each have the same big, bright wish: to be a good friend. And now with the WellieWishers: Garden Fun app, little ones can learn how to be a good friend as they play. From hidden object and tea-party planning minigames to nurturing their own garden and customizing the backyard garden with stickers, little kids are invited to join the WellieWishers to discover what makes friendships grow.

The content is tailored to kids ages 5-7, offering good-quality entertainment from a well-loved, trusted brand partner in American Girl. And, with school back in session, it’s a great opportunity to reinforce the values young ones are learning in class, so they can practice their caring and empathy skills while outside of preschool or elementary school.
