“I used Ello to help my first grader improve her reading skills and to get her to read without a fight every night. It worked! She read through the books provided each night and asked for more! The app was easy to use and kid friendly”

“My kiddo loves Ello. He gets so excited when he gets his box, asks to read with Ello often, and he really works for those prizes. He's quite behind in reading and I think reading to a cartoon who has 0 judgement is reassuring to him. In our reading lesson today he said "those are Ello words" so I know it is sinking in. Thanks for such a great program, you guys are onto something here.”

“Jackson is by far my latest reader, held back by a perfectionism that left him frustrated and discouraged every time he struggled with a word. Although we've had a child with learning challenges before, my gut told me that we just needed to wait for him to be ready. And then this summer I stumbled across @readwithello, and everything changed. He became excited about reading and comfortable with not knowing what a word said and asking for help. And he's quickly catching up to grade level, learning 50 or so new sight words a week in addition to additional phonograms. (We're firmly in the "why is English so complicated stage of reading," lol.) But one of the best parts has been watching him get excited about writing as well!”

“Previously my child despised reading. Every time we asked her to read it was a knock down fight! Since we received our first Ello Box two days ago she has read two entire books without even being asked. We had to wrestle it from her to put her to bed tonight because she just wanted to keep reading! You have no idea what a huge deal this is in our house! She kept saying, "Mommy I love this! This is so fun!" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Ello!! This is a life changer!!!”

“My son does not like to read. He struggles to feel successful when he can’t get the words the first time. Ello has been a lifesaver! Because he can click on the words and Ello will help sound it out, he feels like he has help while reading. He also loves getting the points and associated prizes! We love Ello!”

“We love our Ello box! It was way more than I expected. He's had his first night with it and I've never seen him so excited. We've got a couple friends and my sons tutor recommending it now since my son has improved so much since we started reading with Ello. I just want to tell you that we are so happy we found this. He hasn't been this excited about reading yet.”

“Dear parents, Please don’t hesitate to get this program for your reluctant readers! Our son just turned 7 and we assumed he’d take to reading easily since we held him back a year and he is very articulate. He has the vocabulary of a ten year old but his command of the language was not translating into his reading ability. His resistance to reading with us was so incredibly strong that he simply hadn’t progressed to become a more fluent reader. We were baffled, nervous, and frustrated at his lack of progression. On a whim, we signed up for Ello and my son’s first session was nothing short of a miracle. He read his 5 books in one sitting and then we read more later in the evening. Then we read again with Ello on Day 2 and followed it with a few pages of another book we read on our own. On Day 3 we worked on a book that was above the level of our Ello books and it all finally CLICKED! He finally gets how to sound out words he doesn’t know. My takeaway is that Ello makes reading fun and the ‘struggle’ button gives the reader a way to see phonics in a way that is different than other reading programs. I truly think this is a revolutionary program that properly harnesses the gift of AI. Bravo to the creators of Ello!! Thank you!!”

“This was a wonderful tool! My son made tremendous progress while we used this app. He loved reading with Ello and getting the boxes in the mail. It was so useful that he no longer needs it. He still talks about how much he loved the boxes, and can't wait until his little cousin is old enough for them too.”
