Learning that Parents Recommend

Reading Made Fun

SKIDOS turned reading into a daily joy for Ella. She used to struggle with phonics, but now she’s tracing letters and sounding out words with confidence. The games are playful yet rooted in real learning. I love that it’s based on the Science of Reading - it truly works!

Learning to read made easy!

As a European parent raising a multilingual child, SKIDOS has truly been a lifesaver. The phonics-based approach and thoughtful learning structure keep my son on track with his English reading. He’s actually excited to play, and I feel confident knowing it’s backed by real pedagogy. The letter stories and rhymes are so sweet. He’s even memorized a few, especially the snake one, it’s his favorite!

Finally, Real Reading Progress

We’ve tried other reading apps, but SKIDOS is the first that actually helped Leo improve. The focus on decoding and comprehension is spot-on. He loves the stories and even sings the letter rhymes at home! He really likes the snake, tiger, and the Christmas rhymes. He’s completed one map and is now reading short sentences and asking for more story time. It’s fun, effective, and I love it as a parent!
