A real turning point in my son’s reading development. The most beneficial tool I have encountered.” – Kevin

This app is fantastic. I think I might even love it more than the kids because not only do I get to watch them enjoy doing it, I know it is actually benefiting and advancing their literacy! My 5-year-old is already recognising letters which is amazing. There is so much to offer in this app, it’s impossible for them to get bored of it. It offers everything. I’m happy for them to have iPad time now – game changer!” – Peta
