Ello is an amazing tool for an emergent reader! It would be great for any child that is not able to read full chapter books without help yet. The option to click on any word and have it not just read to you, but sounded out and blended, is useful not only to help the child finish that book, but to actually teach them to sound out and read new words. We really enjoyed using the app, but had some issues with the instructional videos. The biggest issue was volume - no matter how high I turned my iPads volume we couldn't hear the video well and when the app came back on the sound was so high we would both jump. And I wish the videos weren't on YouTube, but actually in app. Might not be a realistic wish, but it would be nice. Overall it is a really great app and I believe it will help any child learn to read better.
