Be the cheerleader, not the coach
Rally Reader makes it possible for parents to be cheerleaders for reading success by bringing together the science and joy of reading through guided practice.
"Children in elementary and middle school are doing a lot of learning, and screen-based activities can play a valuable role."

Feedback from our community
Caren, Parent“Our 8th grader started using Rally Reader [two years ago]. She loves it. She will never read out loud for me and she is reading out loud every day with Rally. Thanks for making such a delightful product.”
Sophie, Student“With Rally Reader, no one has to help me with reading nowadays. It’s fun reading in Rally because you can sit anywhere and be reading. And it motivates my brain so I can try new things.”
Pam, Parent“My daughter and I stopped fighting about reading! She reads on her own, in her room, and I know she is getting the practice she needs.”
Anya, Teacher“Using Rally Reader [my students] have been able to do more independent reading, where in the past they would avoid reading and not be able to get past the word they were stuck on. Now they’re able to use the app and have it tell them the word they were stuck on so they’re not sitting there waiting on a teacher or losing their comprehension.”
