About this app

Backed by world-renowned experts in literacy development, TIPS™ Reading World teaches kids to read faster and easier, with better accuracy and much less frustration. In just a few minutes a day over a few weeks, your child can learn to read thousands of words on their own. In a few months, your child can transform into a reading superstar.

As parents, it was just too hard to explain to our kids that the ‘C’ in OCEAN sounds like “SH”, in RACE like an “S”, in CELLO a “CH” and a good old “C” in COOK. How about the A’s in A SMALL AIRPLANE OF ANGRY ARMY GORILLAS? That “A” makes six different sounds!

Phonics is great. But it’s not enough. So we made something better. We made TIPS™.

TIPs are tiny accent marks, added to letters to help guide kids to the right pronunciation. We teach this explicitly, so kids learn a TIP for S making a Z sound or C making an S sound. Once they learn just 30 TIPS, they can sound out over half of the most important words in English. Because the TIPs are consistent, kids make almost no errors. They have a lot more fun and are more engaged in the learning process. And so they learn faster.

TIPS™ allows kids to explicitly focus on key skills of “decoding” words, without fear of failure. They learn explicitly the different potential sounds of each letter, knowledge critical to decoding words they come across outside of the Reading World.

Most important, TIPs are subtle. This means that as kids master reading with TIPS, they are able to seamlessly transition to efficient sight-reading of traditional text.

The system is fundamentally based on a patent-pending algorithm, that was used to decode the entire English language, unlocking every spelling exception and organizing the TIPS Letters based on their frequency in English. This means we teach the important stuff first, and review it often, building an incredibly strong foundation for little readers.

By the time your child masters Level 5 of Reading World, she will have the skills to read thousands of words. By the time she reaches Level 10, she will be able to read over 50,000 words.
