“I love how much my kids loving reading with Ello. They’re six, and it’s so important to me that they begin with a love of reading, and Ello is creating that solid foundation for us!”

“Ello has become the new favorite reading tool for my three kiddos. All three children are at different reading levels and I find that two out of three have already shown improvement and excitement for practice reading. The interactive part is very helpful to the children as they can tap on the word they don't know, and Ello will help them sound it out. My third kiddo is behind in reading and doesn't understand the CVC concept of reading yet. The beginning books in Ello are difficult for him, but he is still excited to try. The beginning books have about 10 words on each page, and it does become stressful for him after a few pages. So we pause the book, and can get back to it after he gets up and walks around or does something else for a few minutes. I would love to see Ello work on letter recognition, and possibly CVC sight words with pictures. As a person that is not very tech savvy, this program was easy to install and easy to use.”

“My son enjoys the content and is excited to start his quests each day. He also likes dressing the elephant by going in the store. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the elephant often is in the way of the content on the screen and there’s nothing you can do to get him to move besides going out and coming back later.”

“I have two children using this app. My kindergartner and a 3rd grader and they love it. Within a months time their reading have gone up with consistency and books on the app that they love. They just found out they can make their own book and they love the app even more now. Totally recommend.”

“We have a granddaughter in kindergarten who is behind on her reading skills. Ello presents sentences from a book and she reads them. She'll read a sentence and realizes she made a mistake and restarts midsentence. Ello is smart enough to know where she is restarting from. If she struggles with a word it will highlight it and if she still can't get it right, it helps her read that word. The key is that the instruction is coming not from a parent (or grandparent) but a neutral character (in this case a blue elephant). We've learned not to help her during the reading session but let Ello handle correcting mistakes. It is patient, doesn't expect perfection but is engaging enough to keep her attention. We read three books a night. In between books Ello presents a fun video which she likes (incentive to finish reading a book). Overall, Ello is performing above our expectations.”

“My kid didn’t use this app much, and I tried to cancel after promotion but it never went through. Never got emails about continued fees and just now realized I paid 8 monthly payments without my kid ever using the app at all. Didn’t show up in Apple or other easy ways of following, so I didn’t even know this recurring fee was happening until i caught it on my credit card bill, which normally my husband pays. Beware the BS recurring subscirption that flies under the radar, wish i could get the $120 back.”

“My child has made faster reading progress using this app than any other we’ve tried, and we’ve tried a lot. As a teacher and a parent, I recommend this app. I do wish the voice sounded a little more human and a little less AI, but overall it’s an excellent option that really caters to your child’s needs.”

“We have been following Ello and using it with our children over several years , I would say its safe to say that we started with Ello during its very early stages and have continued to use the platform over the year on and off as our kids reading abilities have aligned with the programs offerings. Our two oldest loved Ello and now we have started the program one more time with our youngest. We only have positive things to say about the company as a whole. Even though the program has evolved from its early days it has continued to help aid our children in their reading as well as several of our friends and families who we have recommended Ello to. It our go to for independent reading practice we can count on while as parents we are busy juggling all the things.”

“This is an awesome app to help children learn how to read. I love that they can use it without me after the first couple of times so I can have them do this when I am busy and know they are learning!! And they love it!”

“I’ve only started using Ello just a few months with my daughter and she absolutely loves it. She’s always eager to learn things to her reading buddy. My daughter is in first grade and struggles reading, but I’ve already seen a huge difference. I highly recommend it.”
