Learning · Dyslexia and ADHD
Daily reading and math practice for a child who learns differently. It watches what the child gets wrong, works on exactly that, and will not move on until the evidence says they are ready.
What it is
Handwriting with support that fades, timed reading scored against national norms, word building and sorting driven by the child's own error record, and math facts taught as strategies rather than memorised cold. Every part feeds one record, so nothing a child struggles with is practiced only once.
Grade 3 target
83
Words correct per minute at the 50th percentile in autumn of third grade. The app's rate targets are set from this table, by grade and by season. Hasbrouck & Tindal, 2017 · Technical Report 1702
Mastery gate
3 days
At 90 percent or better on separate days before anything counts as learned. Set deliberately stricter than the most-cited criterion. Set against the mastery criterion literature
What moves the needle
dosage
Across the reading intervention literature, how much practice happens is the moderator that reliably predicts whether it works. Reading intervention meta-analysis, 53 studies
An app that advances a child on one good afternoon is measuring the afternoon.
How it adapts
01
A child does not miss "boat", they miss the oa in it. The pattern is recorded, so the same weakness is recognized in a word never seen before.
02
Words misread while reading reappear in building and sorting later that week. Nothing is practiced once and forgotten.
03
A level opens only after 90 percent or better across three different days, with enough attempts on each, and nothing in that level still going wrong.
04
When the reading rate holds, passages get harder by a measured readability band rather than by guesswork.
