A holiday gift for a grandchild who finds reading hard
Give the gift of reading this Christmas
Give your grandchild a year of daily reading practice that listens as they read out loud and helps them fix the exact sound they missed.
Kids who struggle early tend to fall further behind
Reading builds on itself. A child who finds it hard in first or second grade reads less, practices less, and the gap with classmates grows a little every year. Confidence often goes with it.
The good news is that short, structured practice out loud, every day, is one of the most effective ways to help, and the earlier it starts the better. That is exactly what ReadGenie gives them.

What your gift includes
Reading practice that listens
Your grandchild reads out loud. ReadGenie hears the exact sound they missed and helps them fix it, one sound at a time.
A few minutes a day
Short daily sessions: letter sounds, sounding out words, spelling and reading. Easy to fit around school, homework and the holidays.
Built with Orton-Gillingham educators
The structured approach reading specialists use. It works alongside school and tutoring, never instead of them.
Paid for in full, by you
No monthly bills for their parents. One gift covers every day of practice for a year, or two.
Here’s what your grandchild will see
Real screens from ReadGenie. A few minutes a day, out loud, one step at a time.
Sound by sound
They say each sound out loud. ReadGenie listens and checks each one.
Then the whole word
Once the sounds are right, they blend them and read the whole word.
Then real reading
Short stories, read out loud. Each word lights up as ReadGenie hears it.
Games between lessons
A word board game where they take turns building and reading words. Practice that feels like play.
