HOW IT WORKS

Four steps to clarity

A monitor you can return to as your child grows.

STEP 01

Quick setup, built for your child

Share your child's name and age. We personalize each check-in to match where they are as a reader.

STEP 02
Mrs. Compass

A calm, guided check-in

Scan the code, hand them the phone, stay close by. Miss Pat leads them through activities, about 15 minutes.

STEP 03

Instant results, with a clear next step

Open your dashboard for clear results, and see the specific skill recommended next.

STEP 04

A daily plan, and growth you can see

A short daily plan built around their results, focused on the skills that matter most right now. Come back each month to monitor their growth.

Why Reading Compass

What makes Reading Compass different.

Built to give parents clear answers, real guidance, and a path forward.

Built for parents, not schools

Other reading tools are built for teachers, schools, or clinics. Reading Compass is built for parents, to use at home, on your timeline, in your living room.

Regular check-ins, not once a year

Most reading tools test your child once, at signup or once a year. Reading Compass is built for monthly check-ins, so you see growth as it happens.

A daily plan tied to your child

Not a score and a worksheet. A short daily plan focused on the skills your child is ready to grow next.

More than an assessment. A path forward

We don't just tell you where your child stands. We tell you what to do next, at home, with their teacher, or at school.

Designed for ages 3 and 4

Most reading tools start at kindergarten. Reading Compass is built for ages 3 and 4, when small gaps stay small.

Listen to your child's responses

Hear recordings of your child's actual responses, real evidence, not just a score. Listen for yourself.

Your child's reading, simplified.

No more wondering. See exactly where your child stands, what to focus on, and how they're growing, month after month.
