How it works, in three steps
A free 5 to 10 minute reading check finds exactly which sounds your childyour teen knows.
Every story uses only those sounds, so your childyour teen can actually read it. You read the rest.
Each night practices one new sound or skill, and the story grows with your childyour teen.
Most early-reader books assume your child can already read the words. Ours are written for the exact sounds your child has learned, so every page is one they can actually read.Most books for older readers assume your teen can already decode every word. Ours are written for the exact sounds your teen has mastered, in stories that never talk down.
Tears over a book that’s too hard. The quiet worry that it’s somehow your fault. It isn’t.
One night, for real
How one night works
A structured literacy reading program, built on the science of reading. About 15 minutes a night, and every word you say is written for you.
Read a real sample night together, right now
You read the story
The screen hands you every line, even the praise. No teaching experience needed.
Your child reads the hero’s lines
Built only from sounds already taught, so your child sounds each word out instead of guessing. Readers 7 and under who are still learning their first sounds start with little books they read alone; the hero’s lines open at Level 3.
You mark only the words that were tricky
Every tricky word comes back in the next nights until it sticks.

See how reading is going, in one minute.
About once a week, your childyour teen does a quick one-minute read, and we chart it over time. From Level 5 it is a short passage at your child’syour teen’s own level, read out loud for one minute while you mark any missed word; before that it is a one-minute list of letters or words, the way reading specialists check early readers. A word your childyour teen fixes alone counts as right. You see one number, letters or words read correctly in one minute, and a line that shows every read so far. It’s a check on progress, not a test, and every week it lands in a one-page report you can print for a teacher or IEP meeting.

For educators →Questions parents ask
The questions you’re carrying
Is my child behind?
A grade label can’t tell you what to practice. Our free reading check shows which sounds your child already knows, and every story starts right there.
Is it dyslexia?
Only a qualified evaluation can tell you that. Either way, structured, sound-by-sound practice like this is what helps children who find reading hard, and you don’t have to wait for an evaluation to start.
I’m not a teacher. Can I really do this?
Yes. You read lines off a screen and mark only the words that were tricky. Every teaching line, every correction, even the praise is written for you, with audio for nearly every new sound.
Can a teacher or therapist see what we do at home?
Yes, and it works both ways. Open your child’syour teen’s reader, choose Share a reader, and send the one code to your child’s teacher or therapist. They sign in with their own email, and from then on you share that one reader back and forth: you read at home during the week, and when your childyour teen arrives for a session the therapist opens the app and picks up exactly where you left off, same step, same story, same report. It is free for them for as long as you have A New Page. Either of you can stop sharing at any time, and nothing else in your account is ever shared.
Is this a replacement for a specialist?
No, and we say that plainly. It is daily practice that makes a specialist’s hour go further. If your child’syour teen’s progress ever fits the pattern that warrants a professional evaluation, the program tells you on screen, free. How we compare →
What ages is it for?
Ages 3 to 18. Children who are not reading yet (about 3 and 4) start with Play Time: seven short parts each night, with sound games, two new letters a week, and a story you share. Children who read a little, or are behind (about 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.
More questions (6)
15 minutes. Really?
Really, for every reader, from the youngest to teens running their own: about 15 minutes a night (Play Time for the Littles is about 15 too). Each child does their own 15 minutes; two children is about half an hour. A short session you actually do beats a long one that collapses by March. Miss a day? It just resumes.
What do I need to run it?
Any web browser. Nothing to install. A bigger screen is easiest for reading side by side, and any screen works when that is what you have. Sign in from Settings (we email you a sign-in link) and your readers follow you from one device to the next.
Will my price go up?
No. If you join now, you keep the founding family price for as long as you’re with us. Pausing doesn’t change it. If our prices change later, that’s only for families who join after.
How new is A New Page?
New. We are in a soft launch, building it with our first families and with a reading specialist who has taught children to read for 41 years. We publish how we measure progress, and we will publish results when there are enough children to report honestly. How we measure →
We homeschool. How does it fit?
It becomes the daily reading block, and the weekly note doubles as homeschool documentation. The homeschool page →
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 marking the tricky words (older readers can mark them themselves), every miss gets fixed. As skill grows, the program hands each reader more to do alone.
No audio recorded. You mark.

Our scope and sequence follows the order of skills in UFLI Foundations, the University of Florida Literacy Institute’s reading curriculum used in thousands of classrooms, with a few vowel sounds introduced early.
