ReadGenie is a structured literacy curriculum for children who find reading hard, including children with dyslexia. It follows the Orton-Gillingham approach used by dyslexia specialists. Skills are taught explicitly and in a fixed order, from letter sounds and blending through vowel teams, syllable types and multisyllable words, and every new skill builds on the ones before it.
A daily session takes about 15 minutes. The child practices reading, spelling and handwriting with the same sound patterns, so each skill is learned through seeing, hearing, saying and writing. Practice adapts to the child's level. A skill counts as mastered only after the child reads and spells it accurately many times, and skills that aren't mastered yet keep coming back for more practice.
When the child reads aloud, ReadGenie listens with a speech model we trained to hear individual speech sounds. It can tell that a child said “ship” when the word was “chip” and coaches that exact sound out loud right away. Reading passages are decodable. They're built from the sound patterns the child is learning and has practiced, plus a few common words like “the” and “was”, and they're written around the child's interests.
Parents see what their child practiced, which skills are mastered and which need more work. ReadGenie runs on the family's own phone or tablet and needs no extra materials. One license covers one student for 12 months.
