Children get practice that feels like play. You get insight without hovering.
Every finished book becomes a swipeable deck of follow-up activities — one tap and they’re practicing.
Kids read a short passage out loud and watch their words appear as they speak, with reading speed (WCPM) measured automatically.
Missed words return as quick review cards until they’re mastered — spaced practice, kid-sized.
A reading goal they help set, a streak they want to keep, and a cheerful monkey buddy along the way.
A weekly email recap: books, quizzes, reading speed, and the skills to encourage next week.
13 weeks of trends across books, speed, accuracy, and expression — progress, made visible.
Each quiz ends with “For Parents” notes: what your child understood and where to go deeper together.
Reports and reading history live in the parent web app too — check in anytime, from any device.
ReadBuddy doesn't stop at the quiz. Every book your child scans starts a little cycle of practice, momentum, and insight.
Your child scans the cover of any book they just read — picture books to chapter books — and gets an age-appropriate quiz on the spot.
Daily Recap turns that book into bite-size follow-ups: a think-about-it question, a read-aloud passage, and the words they missed.
A weekly reading goal, a practice streak worth protecting, and gentle reminders when it’s reading time — momentum without nagging.
Books read, reading speed, skills that grew, and what to practice next — a parent recap every Sunday, no dashboard-checking required.
