How do you get your kids to learn to read in the most current, proficient and fun-filled way? Meet George Canine!
In this first lesson, the loveable beagle George Canine and his animated friends introduce kids to:
• five alphabet letters.
• phonics (reading instruction based on letter-sound associations).
• phonological analysis (the ability to hear sounds in spoken words).
• foundation handwriting.
• spelling.
• reading.
Designed by Jennifer Smith, Ph.D., a childhood and literacy expert, the reading app is based on cutting edge reading research.
George Canine’s delivery is paced to allow kids sufficient time to process the information. In addition, as Nobel prize-winning learning researcher Eric Kandel wrote, “Practice makes perfect, repetition is necessary for long term memory.” Through a variety of interactive games, George Canine offers kids sufficient repetition so that they quickly learn to read.
The app has been tested on young students with excellent results. Kids find George highly engaging and they have fun learning the skills.
At home and in the classroom, kids love Learning To Read With George Canine.

Great app to teach kids reading and writing
TheDylonFive
Not sure if my last review went through, but this app is great! I've used a few apps to teach kids how to read and write and this is the best one by far!! It's great to see the kids start talking to George; they are learning how to read and write and not even realizing it! If you have any children in your life who need to learn to read and/or write, this is the app to use!
Great for kids learning the alphabet

This app is great for young kids just learning their letters. The dog is cute, too! One of the kids I babysit really likes this app. I think it's an effective way to teach the alphabet!
