Get Ready to Read
Letters and the sounds they make
First-sound and rhyme games warm up the ear and the eye, with no pressure and no ads. The gentle on-ramp before the reading begins.
Built by teachers
Teach your child to read, one happy win at a time.
The reading path takes your child from first sounds to first sentences, with characters they love the whole way. They read it, they hear it, then they read it back on their own.
Everything for $49/year: the full reading path plus every book on unQbd. Free trial, cancel anytime.
I read
Your child hears the story read aloud
We read
You read it together, sound by sound
You read
Your child reads it back on their own
One simple loop. Every book. From letters to reading.
Reading, the way teachers actually teach it
Strong readers do not guess from pictures. They decode: turning letters into sounds, and sounds into words. Every book in the path is decodable, which means it only uses sounds your child has already learned. That is why it feels like winning instead of struggling.
Decodable first
Real words from day one
Each story is built from the exact sounds your child knows, so they read real words and feel successful right away.
Read plus listen
Practice that reads back
Your child reads the words while the narration reads along. The listening is a feature, not a chore for you.
Mastery paced
Move when they are ready
One clear sequence, no calendar pressure. Fly through the easy stages, repeat the tricky ones. Both are right.
Now live
What is inside
Two journeys teach the actual reading. Three more read your child's whole library aloud. All of it ad-free.
Learn to Read
Ten decodable Sam stories
From short a to digraphs, your child reads the story, hears it read along, then reads it back. Confidence builds one book at a time.
Games made from the very book they just read
Each story's games are built from that exact book's words, starring the characters they just met. No flashcards from nowhere.
And their whole library reads aloud to them
Real narration turns the pages automatically while your child follows along, word by word. Story journeys full of characters they will ask for again.

Questions, answered
My child already knows their letters. Where do we start?
Confirm they know the letter sounds, not just the names, then jump into Learn to Read. The path is mastery-paced, so move as fast as your child is ready to.
My child is four. Too young?
Not at all, if they are interested. Stay in Get Ready to Read as long as it stays fun. There is no rush and no failing. Follow the child.
Is this a full curriculum?
It is a complete early-reading path, built the way reading is actually taught. It focuses on learning to read and pairs well with anything else you use. It is not a multi-subject curriculum, and it is not trying to be.
What is a decodable book, and why does it matter?
A decodable book only uses sounds your child has been taught, so they read by sounding out, not guessing. That is what turns reading from a guessing game into a real skill.
What is included, and what does it cost?
One plan at $49 a year: the full reading path (read plus listen), the narrated story journeys, the games and reward stickers, and the entire unQbd library. No upsells, no add-ons.
