Why now matters
The reading window is open right now. Children who miss a structured phonics foundation in early years often carry that gap into Grade 3, 4, and beyond, where it becomes harder to close. One lesson a day is all it takes to build it properly.
If this feels familiar, your child does not need pressure. They need the right foundation. The literacy program in the app builds it one step at a time.
Every child starts at Level 1 and builds upward. No skipping. No shortcuts. Structured progress, all inside the AptyRead app.
Level 1
Before reading words, a child needs to understand that every letter makes a sound. Level 1 builds this foundation with videos, activities, and guided practice.
46 lessons · 12 guided topics per lesson · Sounds, letters, writing, reviews
Then your child is ready for Level 2. →
Level 2
This is where letters become words. Children blend sounds, read first words, then short sentences and simple stories.
57 lessons · 10 guided topics per lesson · Words, sentences, short stories
Then your child is ready for Level 3. →
Level 3
Children learn reading patterns and apply them to longer text. Reading becomes smoother, faster, and more confident.
63 lessons · 10 guided topics per lesson · Patterns, paragraphs, comprehension
Then your child is ready for Level 4. →
Level 4
Children read real published books chapter by chapter, decode longer words, and strengthen understanding.
77 lessons · 8 guided topics per lesson · Real books, strategies, comprehension
Every child starts at Level 1: I am Learning Letters.
Level 2, 3, or 4 cannot be joined directly. This structure is what makes steady progress possible.

How we teach reading. The same approach applies across all four levels.
Reading is taught through English sounds, helping reduce mother-tongue reading interference.
Children learn useful early reading sounds first instead of random alphabet order.
Children learn sound first, then letter mapping for clearer early decoding.
Clear, consistent models help children learn a neutral international English sound. That supports school, exams, and reading aloud.
Children learn where to start and how to form each letter correctly from the beginning.
One connected course from first sounds to chapter books. Not isolated games or random worksheets.
Default pacing is one new lesson per day, and parents can raise it to a maximum of two. This supports healthy screen habits, better retention, and a routine that fits family life.
Clear progression helps children learn without confusion and grow reading confidence.
Yes. The AptyRead English Literacy Program is built for children who speak another language at home. It teaches English reading from sounds to words to connected text, step by step, entirely through English, inside the AptyRead app.
Many tutors focus on homework support and school exam preparation, not on building a core reading foundation. The program focuses on a foundational phonics sequence and reading progression you can practise anytime in the app.
Always Level 1. Every child starts there so no foundational gap is missed.
By default, children do one new lesson per day. Parents can increase to up to two when appropriate. Core lessons are around 25 minutes and review activities are around 10 minutes. Daily consistency matters more than the length of each session.
Yes. You install the AptyRead app from Google Play, open a lesson, and follow the on-screen steps. Tapping play, listening, and simple taps are enough. No complicated setup.
You need internet to download the app and to load lessons. A stable connection while your child learns works best, especially for audio and speech features.
You can continue with Level 1 of the AptyRead English Literacy Program at AED 299 for 6 months validity. One payment per level. No subscriptions. Google Play handles payment in your local currency.
No. It is a structured literacy course, not a collection of random games. No ads. Every lesson has a clear place in the sequence.
Not at all. Older children can still build strong reading foundations. Many move quickly once the right sequence is in place.
With regular one-lesson-per-day practice, many families complete the full journey in about 12–18 months. Pace varies by child.
