ReadRise fè lektè grandi soti nan sonnen mo rive nan konprann — koupe gwo mo, louvri yo an moso ki gen sans, epi kenbe gwo lide a. Chak jès bay lòt la fòs.
ReadRise grows readers from sounding-out to understanding — chunking long words, opening words into parts, and finding the big idea. Read-aloud is always there.
This home-language support is added alongside English — it never replaces it. Your English words don't go away.
