Child reading independently with Dyslexia Reader

Empowering every child to read independently.

Children with dyslexia deserve the same access to learning as their peers. When educational materials are designed with equity in mind, barriers to reading disappear. Dyslexia Reader provides the tools your child needs to build essential literacy skills, access grade-level content, and achieve lasting classroom success.

It's time to level the playing field. What if the book met your child halfway?

Dyslexia Reader makes any reading material accessible.

Bring in any text.

Scan a physical page with your camera. Upload a PDF. Import a classroom worksheet. Dyslexia Reader works with your child's actual school materials — not a separate reading library they'll never open.

Get support on every word.

Stuck on a word? Tap it. Hear it pronounced. See it split into syllables. Explore its onset and rime. Find words that rhyme with it. Look up its meaning. Every word becomes solvable.

Read independently.

Choose how to read: listen to the whole page read aloud, follow along sentence by sentence, or read independently with on-demand help. The child controls their experience. Confidence grows.

Not just another text-to-speech app.

There are many apps that read text aloud. Dyslexia Reader does something different. It doesn't just read to your child — it teaches your child how to read.

Every support feature in the app — syllabification, onset/rime, word families, sentence building — is a research-backed reading strategy used by dyslexia specialists around the world. These aren't add-ons. They're the core of how the app works.

And unlike general-purpose reading apps, Dyslexia Reader works with your child's actual school materials. The textbook chapter they were assigned. The worksheet they brought home. The novel the class is reading together. Your child uses the same materials as everyone else — they just get the support they need to access them.

20+ years of dyslexia research, in your child's hands.

Dyslexia Reader was co-developed with the Madras Dyslexia Association (MDA), a non-profit that has been working with children with dyslexia since 1992. MDA has trained thousands of teachers, supported tens of thousands of children, and developed evidence-based reading strategies refined over decades of clinical practice.

Those strategies — the ones that actually work in real classrooms and resource rooms — are built directly into Dyslexia Reader. This isn't technology guessing at what might help. It's technology encoding what educators have proven works.

What educators and families say.

"

The supports are exactly what we teach in remediation — syllabification, onset/rime — but available instantly for any text the child encounters. It bridges the gap between therapy and real-world reading.

Homework used to be a frustrating battle. Now, my son scans the page, uses the support tools independently, and completes his assignments with confidence. Dyslexia Reader has given him the autonomy he needed to succeed.

We use it across our resource rooms. Teachers prepare the week's reading materials on Sunday night and share them with all their students. The consistency has been remarkable.
