This Week’s Awesome Sponsor: Support them!
Homer is the proven learn to read app for kids that we have recommended for years on Cool Mom Tech. it’s such an effective way to help kids 2 to 8 learn to read since it taps into their own passions to motivate them.
They’ve built custom reading pathways around your own child’s interests, with personalized lessons and activities to get them even more excited to read every day. A recent study conducted by the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education concluded that just 15 minutes a day with Homer can increase early reading scores by 74%. So it’s not only fun, it’s incredibly effective.
And parents love the hundreds of printables, activity sheets and other educational tools you get with your subscription so you can take the learning offline, too.
