We complement—never replace—your child's classroom instruction
Your child's teacher is the expert on what your child needs to learn.
READEE is designed to support and reinforce what's being taught in the classroom—never to contradict or replace it.
Think of us as extra practice time, similar to how sports teams have practice sessions in addition to games.
The teacher provides the primary instruction, and we provide additional opportunities to practice and master those skills.
You might wonder: "If my child is already learning to read at school, why do they need this?"
Great question! Here's the reality: classroom teachers are working with 20-30 students at once.
Even the best teachers can't provide unlimited one-on-one practice time. READEE fills that gap by:

Together, we create a consistent, supportive environment where your child can develop strong reading skills and a lifelong love of learning.
Q: Should I tell my child's teacher we're using READEE?
A: Absolutely! Most teachers appreciate when parents are proactive about supporting reading at home. They might even have suggestions for how to make the most of it.
Q: What if READEE teaches something differently than my child's teacher?
A: We use widely-accepted, research-based methods that align with common classroom practices. If you notice any conflicts, please let us know so we can address it.
Q: Will this overwhelm my child with too much reading practice?
A: Our short, engaging lessons are designed to feel different from homework. If your child seems overwhelmed, you can adjust the frequency. Quality beats quantity!
Q: Is this a replacement for reading together at home?
A: No! READEE provides structured skill practice, but nothing replaces the joy of reading together as a family. Keep doing both!
