Try read with Ello. Used with my kid when she was 5, she picked up wonderfully in few months. They have 14 day trial so you can cancel if you don’t like.
Breaking down Ello (@ReadWithEllo), an AI startup targeting early literacy with operator-grade execution.
What it does: AI reading coach for K-3 kids. Listens to read-aloud, delivers real-time phonics feedback, pairs with decodable books at exact reading level. Includes 700+ digital titles plus physical book delivery.
Who it's for: Parents and educators fixing phonics gaps before they compound.
Edge: Founder team blends ed impact (ex-Google head of impact), child psych expertise, and AI exits (Stanford PhD with 2 prior sales). Solves edtech tradeoff of digital scale vs. tactile engagement.

Amazing news! We’re proud to partner with Octavia Spencer to help more kids become confident readers.
At Ello, we believe every child deserves the kind of 1:1 reading support that helps them feel seen, capable, and excited to read.
Ello is an AI reading teacher that listens as your child reads out loud, gently coaches them through tricky words, corrects mistakes in the moment, and encourages them to keep going. Just like a great teacher would.
Together with Octavia, we created “Detective Dell Is on the Case”. The book is a playful, mystery-filled story designed to build confidence, curiosity, and a love of reading.
All proceeds from the book support City Year Los Angeles, helping students get the support they need to thrive in school and beyond 💛
📖 Detective Dell Is on the Case! is now available to read in the Ello app.

We’ve entered the post-Christmas, pre-New Year’s parent phase:
no school, no structure, endless snacks, and zero idea what day it is...
(and that's okay!)
Internet parents want optimization.
IRL parents want peace.
Online, it’s: acceleration, rigor, benchmarks, outcomes.
Offline, it’s: “Is my kid okay? Do they like learning? Can bedtime not be a battle?”
Kids don’t fall in love with learning because it’s faster.
They fall in love because it feels safe, human, and a little bit magical.
Build for that and the rigor takes care of itself.
My daughter is a big fan of @ReadWithEllo - first reading app she’s consistently excited about & can use without help for long periods of time. Incorporating voice recognition is a game changer.
