Your child is smart.
Reading just hasn't clicked yet.
You've tried the tutors ($100/hour adds up fast). You've tried the apps (too babyish, or they gave up at age 8). School says they're "working on it." Meanwhile, your kid is falling behind. And starting to believe they're just bad at reading.

Fonemio is different. We built it for kids like yours: the ones other apps forgot about.
How Fonemio works
Three simple steps to reading confidence
Your child reads aloud
They pick a story that matches their interests: mystery, sports, sci-fi, animals. Our AI matches the reading level automatically.
AI coaches in real-time
When they hit a tricky word, Fonemio breaks it down. Syllable by syllable, sound by sound. Just like a reading specialist would.
Skills build fast
Track words per minute, accuracy, and patterns. Watch confidence grow as they master new words and tackle harder books.
Stories they'll actually want to read
From picture books for early readers to thrillers for teens. Every story matches their reading level and their maturity. No 12-year-old stuck with baby content.

"If you've heard of 'Sold a Story,' you know schools got reading instruction wrong for decades. Fonemio is built on what actually works."
Based on the Science of Reading
Parents are seeing real results
"My 11-year-old has dyslexia and refused to use 'baby apps.' Fonemio is the first thing she's actually wanted to practice with. She's reading chapter books now."
Jennifer M.
Mom of 3, Texas
"We were spending $400/month on tutoring. Fonemio isn't a replacement for everything, but it's let us cut back to once a week. Our son practices daily now."
Marcus T.
Dad, California
"The word breakdown feature is incredible. When my daughter hits a wall, she taps the word and sounds it out herself. She's actually learning, not just guessing."
Rachel K.
Homeschool mom, Ohio
