What they are saying

From our Founding Literacy Advisor, and from families and tutors using it now.

"I forgot the stories were so magical, and they have a piece for the adult to read. This talks up to kids. I love it even more the more I use it."

Julie BedellOrton-based reading specialist, 41 years · our Founding Literacy Advisor

"We finished the first chapter and I said we were done for the day. She looked up and said, 'What? We are finished already?' It was the best note to end on."

A reading tutorafter a middle-schooler's first session

"You would never find help in the middle of a lesson on the big-name programs. Here, if something is not working, help is right there. That sets it apart."

Why A New Page is different

Most reading apps entertain. This one teaches.

📖

The reading is the adventure

The story only moves when your child reads it. Reading is the reward.

🎯

Built at their exact level

They never hit a word they haven't been taught. Wins, not walls.

🔬

The method that actually works

Structured literacy, the same method reading specialists use.

📈

Progress you can share

A weekly report you can hand a teacher or IEP team.

Safe, private, and built for how your child learns.

Big, fantastical adventures, dragon eggs at midnight, last-second goals, cases cracked open, and every one is safe: no ads, no romance, no politics, no horror. First name only, we never record your child's voice or sell data, and you can delete everything anytime. And every reader gets a clear, readable font with generous spacing, built in.

The science we cite, in plain words
Daily beats weekly.

Practice spread across days sticks far better than the same minutes packed into one block. It's one of the most replicated findings in learning science. A weekly tutoring hour is the packed schedule; 15 minutes daily is the spread one.

Cepeda et al. 2006 (meta-analysis); Dunlosky et al. 2013.
Parent-led practice works, when it's scripted.

A meta-analysis of parent tutoring found large effects (d ≈ 0.65). The key was structure: parents running specific, scripted activities beat parents just listening to their child read. That's why every line here is written for you.

Sénéchal & Young 2008.
Structured literacy is the right frame.

Explicit, systematic phonics with sound-awareness and spelling, in a cumulative sequence with mastery checks, the approach the International Dyslexia Association identifies for struggling readers. Our sequence is anchored to the public UFLI Foundations scope used in thousands of schools.

IDA Structured Literacy; NRP 2000; Ehri et al. 2001; UFLI Foundations.
Spelling is secret reading fuel.

Sounding out to write forces full letter-sound work and measurably improves word reading. Every session ends with three minutes of dictation, the highest-leverage three minutes we have.

Weiser & Mathes 2011; Graham & Hebert 2011.
And the honest limit.

The famous intensive-intervention studies used 30 to 60+ specialist minutes daily. Fifteen parent-led minutes is a supplement, not a replacement for school-based intervention or therapy where those are needed. If your child's data ever fits the pattern that warrants a full evaluation, we say so on screen, plainly and for free.

Torgesen et al. 2001; see the FAQ below.

This is what your child actually reads

Not flashcards. A real page, and your child's reading is what moves it.

A real page from Emberwing · a younger reader · an older reader

Grandpa leaned close. “My eyes are too old to read the runes now.”

A map! ← your child reads this

“You can read them, can’t you?” he asked.

I can read it.

The little dragon flicked its wings as the hidden path lit up.

I read the whole map!

“My eyes are too old to read the runes anymore,” Grandpa admitted.

I can read the glowing runes on the dragon’s egg! ← your reader reads this

The whole hall went still. Every keeper turned and looked at you.

I can lead us along the hidden dragon path!

The runes were a map all along, and I can read every last one!

The very same story scales up as they grow: an older reader reads full sentences, never single words.The very same story scales down for a younger sibling: every line still real, just shorter.

Questions parents actually ask

Is this a replacement for a reading tutor or therapist?

No, and we say that plainly. It is daily practice that makes a specialist's hour go further. If your child's progress ever fits the pattern that warrants a professional evaluation, the program tells you on screen, free. How we compare →

I'm not a teacher. Can I really do this?

Yes. You read lines off a screen and tap ✓ or ✗. Every teaching line, every correction, even the praise is written for you, with audio for every new sound.

What ages is it for?

Ages 3 to 18. Littles (3 to 6) read tiny books all by themselves. Younger readers (5 to 10) read the adventures with you. Older readers (11 to 18) get a grown-up look and more independence. Start is set by skill, never by grade.

What if my child is way behind?

The check will say so honestly, at the start, not after months. This program can help, and a child far behind also deserves a free school evaluation. We give you the letter to request one.

15 minutes. Really?

Really, for the youngest readers. Sessions grow with your child: about 15 minutes for little ones, closer to 20 for older readers running their own. A short session you actually do beats a long one that collapses by March. Miss a day? It just resumes.

Why is a parent part of it? Can't my child use it alone?

A beginning reader can't self-correct yet, so solo apps let mistakes get practiced. With you tapping ✓ or ✗, every miss gets fixed. As their skill grows, the program hands them more to do on their own.

We homeschool. How does it fit?

It becomes the daily reading block, and the weekly note doubles as homeschool documentation. The homeschool page →
