For grown-ups

What your child practices

ReadRise is built for grade 3 (ages 8–9) — the bridge from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." It uses Structured Literacy: explicit, systematic decoding, morphology and comprehension. It never asks a child to guess a word from a picture or the first letter — that's the approach the reading-science evidence moved away from.

• Chunk It — hear a long word, tap how many beats (syllables) you hear, then see it split into chunks and read one beat at a time. Chunking is how readers decode long words instead of guessing.
• Word Parts — build a word from its meaningful parts (a prefix, a root, a suffix) and learn what each part means ("re- = again → replay = play again"). Morphology unlocks both decoding and meaning.
• Quick checks — short multiple-choice rounds across syllables, prefixes/suffixes/roots, main idea & details, inference, figurative language, and fluency. Every question is read aloud; a hint appears only after a first miss, and the answer is always explained.

Play together — and go easy

Everything is read aloud, so a transitional reader can play on their own — and it's better with you nearby. There are no timers and no way to "fail": a tricky one shows the answer kindly and moves on. Reading anxiety is real; keep it calm, celebrate the try, and let your child chunk and build before they answer.

Your privacy

ReadRise runs entirely on your device. There are no accounts and no ads, and nothing your child does leaves the device. A little progress (a level and a streak) is saved just on this device. Reading aloud uses your browser's built-in voice — no recording, no microphone.
