“I think reading with Ello is good. A few things I think need improving is that every child learns to read differently so, maybe having a different way they can read the book with the app would be good maybe even making a game out of it. I also think maybe if the app hears the child struggling with a word the app will pull the word up and help the child sound it out. Just my idea for helping my child read with Ello. I know that my daughter learns better with games so, if I don't see an improvement in her reading I might have to find another game-like application that will help her read and improve her reading.”

“The first day we received our Ello box my daughter wanted to read 3 books. Most days I couldn’t get her to read one. She loves reading to our tablet and is so engaged the entire time. I’ve seen her reading skills grow so much in such a short period of time, I wish we started sooner.”

“The books that arrived were the correct level for my daughter, just hard enough to challenge her without getting too frustrated. She is very eager to earn points and prizes. The coloring pages were a cute addition and she enjoyed Ello’s response to texting her picture.”

“My almost 7 year old has struggled a bit with wanting to lean to read but LOVES to be read to and loves books. I’m not kidding when I say as soon as she played with this app she asked for more time on it! She is not a fan of the app they use at her school and I think it was discouraging her further. Now she has a new spark and I’m so grateful and excited!”

“I'm impressed with how much smoother my daughter reading has become in the few weeks she's been using Ello. It's so nice to have her reading to an impartial and positive voice. It's helped me learn how to respond when we're reading together. I've let up on making her sound out each word and tried to be more encouraging. She is eager to do the reading to earn more points. I feel like the reward system in Ello has so much potential. Having more outfits and accessories to choose from would help. My daughter was eager to earn her points, but was sad there weren't more options to choose from. It would also be nice if there was a higher limit on books so she was able to read 1-2 each day of the week before moving up. All-in-all Ello is fantastic, but I think it can be made even better!”

“I'm so happy with the decision to give Ello a try for my 7 yo with Dyslexia. Reading can be a struggle, but with Ello she's excited to grab a book. The rewards and praise keep her motivated, and she's already looking forward to her next box. Unfortunately my sweet girl is starting to struggle with academic self-confidence. Even when reading with loving and supportive adults he can become embarrassed and frustrated with herself. Ello allows her to read and dependently without any perceived judgment, and is working to build herself confidence. With continued use. I know her reading skills will strengthen but if all we ever got from the program was a boost in her self-confidence it would be worth every penny spent.”

“My 8 year old son can read pretty fast and earn stars pretty quickly but it took long time for my 5 year daughter to earn enough stars to buy the first couple of items available, which almost caused her to drop out of building Ello habit. We’d like it better if there are some more items available for fewer stars so that little slow readers can enjoy it and be kept motivated.”

“It's such a cute idea and so far I love it. The only recommendation on change or review for the company is that my daughter learned there is a way to skip the words so she gets through the book really fast. Also, I was excited that she got two decorate her own elephant and then later was told I cannot because I didn't have an iPad. If they would have told me this before I purchased it, I would have gotten an iPad. The app is the only reason I purchased a tablet.”

“Very helpful with my child when he doesn’t know certain words. Glad there are several levels to start at and be able to move up as he progresses”

“As a homeschool mom of 5, my time is limited. Prior to finding Ello I was struggling to make sure my kids got enough reading time in each day. Since we have started using the app, my kids can independently practice reading while I tend to other kids. We have loved using this program so far!”

“Ello's been a lifesaver for us! Teaching a kid to read isn't exactly in my skill set, so having this app has been amazing. My daughter's all over it, learning to read with this friendly elephant that listens to her and gently corrects when she makes any mistakes. It's great seeing her get the hang of words while I'm busy doing chores or busy with my younger son. Very happy about her reading progress!”

“When we ordered this, I was hoping it would be a cute way for my son to continue to learn to read. Not only has it done that, but it has accelerated his skills so quickly I am shocked! He loves it, I love it, and it is perfect for our family!”

“I am so thankful to have came across this program! I don’t know if he lacked the confidence or was just struggling. But after using Ello for less than two weeks, he has flew through the first set of books. Recommend.”

“Maddy and Brook are loving this app. Maddy has struggled with reading and speech. She loves the games with her speech teacher but getting her to read with us or on her own has been hit or miss. With Ello, she had confidence to read and when she doesn't know a word, she can hit trhe help button without “help” from mom, dad or her siblings. She is doing it on her OWN! Brook is a confident reader and Ello makes it fun. She loves getting new books tailored to her reading level and interests. She gets excited when they arrive witb her personalized package. We are loving Ello.”

“My daughter dislikes reading, doesn't want to pick up a book, doesn't want to try. But with Ello, she seems interested! Although it is screen time, it is screen time worth while!! As she is begining to read hopefully this will allow her to catch up with her classmates by the end of first grade!”

“We’ve only been using ELLO for 1 month, but by the end of it, I can already see improvement in my Kindergartener’s reading/excitement. Time will tell, but I’m very excited to see how it helps improve/ jump start her reading!”
