Each child plays for three minutes. Every answer feeds the report, and the report says where to go next — child by child.
What it measures
Pre-reading skills — phonological processing, including phonemic awareness — and written-word reading skills, including decoding. Reading age for each child comes out of those two.

Reports identifying each child’s weak skills, and intervention plans with activities adapted to what each one needs. It is not a grade: it is a list of what to do next.

| Intervention group | 58.5% | 61.7% |
Training
There is training on the app, training in the methodology, and continued support. It is what gets the methodology into the classroom instead of leaving it on the platform.
