What A New Page is
A structured literacy reading programme for kids who find reading hard, including dyslexia.
- 15 minutes a night, side by side.
- Your child reads the hero’s lines. You read the rest from a script.
- Every line is built from sounds your child has already been taught.
- A weekly report you can print for the teacher or school-based support team.
- For ages 3 to 18, placed by skill, never by grade.

Built on the science of reading
A New Page is Structured Literacy: the explicit, systematic approach the International Dyslexia Association recommends, in the Orton-Gillingham tradition, for struggling and dyslexic readers.
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.
Reviewed by a reading specialist with 41 years of experience teaching children to read.
We publish how we measure progress, so anyone can check our work. See the research →
We’re new, and building this with our first families.
Questions families ask
Does A New Page work in my country?
Yes. A New Page serves English-speaking families worldwide, with local spelling on the parent pages, a fixed price in your own currency, and a free week to start.
What ages is it for?
Children roughly 3 to 18, placed by a free reading check of about 5 to 10 minutes at the safest place to start, not by their grade.
Is it based on real reading science?
Yes. It is explicit, systematic phonics (structured literacy), with mastery checks, spaced review and a weekly progress report, reviewed by a reading specialist with 41 years of experience teaching children to read.
How much does it cost?
A free week to start with no card, then R259 a month, or an annual family licence. Cancel anytime, and free access for any family where cost is the wall.
Why now, in South Africa?
South Africa’s own national reading results have shown that most children are not yet reading for meaning by Grade 4. Explicit, systematic phonics at home, fifteen minutes a night with a parent beside the child, is exactly the kind of practice that helps close that gap, in English, at your kitchen table. The question parents carry home is the one we built this to answer: what do we do at home tonight?
Is there funding in South Africa?
There is no government scheme that pays a family directly for a home reading programme, so we kept the price low for South Africa on purpose: a free week first, then R259 a month for the whole family, and genuinely free access for any family where cost is the wall. Just ask. The check runs on your device. We ask for your email at the end to show you the result and send it, and we keep that email with the reading level it found. Never your child's name or age.
Is it made for families in South Africa?
Made for South African families: South African (British) spelling on the parent pages and a clear British-English voice on the words. Built in the US, available in eight countries; the stories and the method are the same everywhere.
Can a teacher or therapist see what we do at home?
Yes. In the app, open your child's reader and choose Share a reader. It gives you a code for that one child. The other grown-up opens anewpagereading.com/r, types the code and signs in with their own email. From then on you both see the same step, the same story and the same report, and either of you can stop sharing at any time.
