ReadPals ede nouvo lektè melanje son pou fè mo, ak yon ekip zanmitay. Chak konpayon montre ou yon jès senp; ou pratike, epi ou reyisi.
ReadPals helps new readers blend sounds into words with a friendly crew. Every stumble is okay — you can always tap to hear it.
This home-language support is added alongside English — it never replaces it. Your English words don't go away.
