Why A New Page is different from most reading apps
Most reading apps entertain. This one teaches your child to read, with the explicit, structured phonics that reading specialists use.
The reading is the adventure
No games as bribes. Your child reads the page to move the story, so reading becomes the reward, not the chore.
Built at their exact level
Decodable from day one, they never hit a word they can't sound out yet. No frustration, just wins that build real confidence.
The method that actually works
Structured literacy, the science-of-reading approach reading specialists use. Not guess-from-the-picture.
Progress you can share
Real progress reports benchmarked to national reading norms, the kind you can hand a teacher, tutor, or IEP/504 team.
Original worlds, ages 5 to 18
Dragons, championships, a detective agency, and more, hand-illustrated and dyslexia-informed at every age. The Littles (3 to 6) get their own shelf of tiny first books.
15 minutes a night
Parent-guided, or on their own for teens. The whole family, one plan, ages 3 to 18.
A dyslexia-friendly Easy-read mode
One tap switches the whole app to a dyslexia-friendly font with wider letter and word spacing, far easier on the eyes for readers who need it. It remembers the choice.
Built on the same science reading specialists use.
Structured literacy, explicit, systematic, step by step, with mastery checks. We cite every claim below, and we tell you where the evidence limits us.
15 minutes a day at your kitchen table.
We hand you every word, your lines, the corrections, even the praise. You read them off the screen and tap ✓ or ✗. That's the whole job.
First week free, no credit card. Then $39 a month. A certified tutor runs $80 to $120 an hour.
Start with just your email and run real sessions for seven nights before you pay a cent. After that, a month here costs less than half of one tutoring hour, and your child gets 30 sessions instead of 4. Cancel anytime.
And there is nothing here to outgrow: every story rewrites itself to your child's exact reading level, so the same adventures grow longer and richer as they do, from age 5 all the way to 18.
Big, fantastical adventures, and every single one is safe.
Dragon eggs cracking at midnight, last-second goals, cases that crack wide open. Big illustrated wonder, family-safe: no ads, no romance, no politics, no horror. We wrote and checked every line before it reached a child.
Your child's privacy, protected like it's our own.
We hold ourselves to a children's-privacy standard. We ask for a first name only, never a password, and we never record or store your child's voice. No ads, ever. We never sell your data, and you can delete everything anytime. Read our plain-English privacy promise →
The science we cite, in plain words
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.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.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.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.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. Not a worksheet in disguise. Real illustrated adventures with original art on every chapter, and the reading IS the story. Your child reads the page; the page comes to life.
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.
And it's as rigorous as it is beautiful. Structured literacy, aligned with the International Dyslexia Association's Knowledge & Practice Standards, with a plain-English progress report you can hand your child's teacher. Real method, real measurement, real books.
“Most reading apps gamify practice. A New Page turns practice into a living book. … It is a new category: structured literacy disguised as an adventure, daily intervention disguised as bedtime.”
“We completed the first chapter, and when I told her we were finished for the day, her response was, ‘What? We are finished already?’”
From first check to reading on their own
Four steps. We do the thinking; you two do the adventure.
About 3 to 5 minutes, parent-run, in your browser. It finds your child's exact starting step, set a little easy on purpose, so the first weeks are wins, not walls.
Dragons, championships, detective cases, or builder worlds, then they build their hero with any of six looks, so the kid on the page looks the way they want.
Your child reads the hero's lines out loud, that's what moves the story. Your whole job is tapping ✓ or ✗. Every miss is woven into the next episode automatically.
Skills build, levels unlock, and a weekly plain-English report tracks their growth against national reading-speed ranges, ready to hand a teacher. Real measurement, not vibes.
Every week, you see exactly what is working
A plain-English note every week: speed against national norms, what was mastered, the words to revisit next, printable for a teacher or IEP team.

Start your free week →Questions parents actually ask
Is this a replacement for a reading tutor or therapist?
A New Page is educational support, not therapy or a diagnosis. For many struggling readers, structured, daily, mastery-based practice at home does a lot of the work: 30 sessions a month instead of 4 with a specialist. But intensive intervention uses 30 to 60+ specialist minutes a day, so if your child faces a significant reading challenge, think of this as the daily practice that makes a specialist's hour go further, alongside their help, not instead of it. And if your child's progress data ever fits the pattern that warrants a professional evaluation, the program says so on screen, on objective criteria, never as a sales pitch, with a free letter template to request one from your school.
I'm not a teacher. Can I really do this?
You read lines off a screen and tap ✓ or ✗. That's the whole job. Every teaching line, every correction ("if she says /s/ /h/ separately, say…"), even the praise line is written for you, and every new sound comes with audio of the exact pure sound, so you never have to guess whether it's /m/ or "muh." The research on parent-led practice is clear: with structure this explicit, parents get strong results.
What ages is it for?
Ages 3 to 18, through three doors. The Littles (3 to 6) get sound play and tiny fully-decodable books they read entirely themselves. Younger readers (5 to 10) get the adventure worlds, read together, 15 minutes a day. Older readers (11 to 18) get the same worlds in a private, grown-up look, increasingly on their own. Where your child starts is always set by skill, never by grade.
What if my child is way behind?
Then the reading check will say so honestly, and if a child is far enough behind (an 8-year-old starting at the very beginning, for example), we tell you at the start, not after months: this program can help, and a child that far behind deserves a full evaluation from the school district, which is free and your legal right to request. Both things are true. We'll give you the letter.
Does it diagnose dyslexia?
No. Nothing here diagnoses anything, that takes a qualified professional evaluation. What we do is teach reading the way the dyslexia field says reading should be taught to kids who struggle, and hand you honest data about how it's going.
What happens to my child's data?
Your child's progress stays on this device unless you choose to sign in and sync it to your account (so your phone and laptop share progress). We don't sell your data or advertise to your child.
15 minutes. Really?
Really, and that's a feature, not a compromise. A sustainable 15 minutes done 5 to 6 days a week beats an ambitious 45 minutes that collapses by March. Consistency is the binding constraint for real families, so the program is engineered around it. Miss a day? It just resumes, it never doubles up.
Is math the other bedtime battle?
Meet A New Page Math — the same idea, for the kid who's decided they're "bad at math." A 15-minute nightly story adventure where the math is the adventure, built on explicit teaching, hands-on tools, and number sense first. No timers, no red X's, ever. Free while in early access.
Designed with math-anxious and dyscalculic learners in mind. Same nightly rhythm your family already knows.
