Together, they unpack what makes Reading.com different from typical literacy apps: it’s not a passive, screen-time experience. Instead, it’s built around co-learning, where a caregiver and child work together through short, structured lessons grounded in the Science of Reading. Stephanie and Molly share the “why” behind the platform, how research shaped its design, and the intentional features that support real reading development, from explicit phonics instruction to interactive sound sliders that help children bridge from sounding out to blending words. They also address common concerns around screen time, explain how the app avoids guessing habits like picture cueing, and highlight how even non-educators can confidently teach foundational literacy skills with the right support. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or literacy advocate, this episode offers a powerful look at how thoughtful design can bring evidence-based reading instruction into everyday moments.
