Common Questions

Nope. The assessment is completely free -- no credit card, no account, no catch. You'll get your child's reading level, a breakdown of which phonics patterns they've got down and which ones need work, and tips on what to practice next. We email everything to you right away.
Just your email and your child sitting with you. They'll read some flashcard words and a short story out loud while you tap whether they got each word right. That's it -- about five minutes total.
If your child is learning to read or still building their decoding skills, yes. The assessment covers reading levels K through 8 -- roughly ages 5 to 14. That's everything from sounding out "cat" to tackling words with Latin roots.
We only ask for your email -- we don't collect your child's name, age, or school. Everything is built and hosted in Canada, and we never sell data. You can read the full details in our Privacy Policy.
It's surprisingly thorough. Your child reads real flashcard words and a short story, so we're testing actual decoding -- not guessing from a quiz. The results show exactly which phonics patterns they've mastered and which ones need work, not just a generic grade level.
Yes -- any device with a web browser works. You don't need to download anything. Just have your child sit with you so they can read the words out loud while you tap the screen.
The email you get includes your child's reading level, which patterns they know well, which ones to practice, and specific activities you can do at home. If you want to keep going, you can sign up for free and get personalized stories, flashcards, and progress tracking built around those same results.
