My daughter really enjoyed this program. She felt comfortable using it on her own. She was always excited to show me how many stars she had earned and the new outfits she could unlocked! She loved the stories and wanted to read more often because of this app!

We were not sure how well Ello would work with our son. He was a little behind grade level before we started, but now he is reading between 2 and 3 book a day and is actually beginning to enjoy reading.

I just want to say that my daughter LOVES Ello!!! I love to see how she is so excited to continue reading. Thank you for coming up with this program. I would recommend Ello in a heartbeat.

The first day we received our Ello box my daughter wanted to read 3 books. Most days I couldn’t get her to read one. She loves reading to our tablet and is so engaged the entire time. I’ve seen her reading skills grow so much in such a short period of time, I wish we started sooner.

The books that arrived were the correct level for my daughter, just hard enough to challenge her without getting too frustrated. She is very eager to earn points and prizes. The coloring pages were a cute addition and she enjoyed Ello’s response to texting her picture.

My almost 7 year old has struggled a bit with wanting to lean to read but LOVES to be read to and loves books. I’m not kidding when I say as soon as she played with this app she asked for more time on it! She is not a fan of the app they use at her school and I think it was discouraging her further. Now she has a new spark and I’m so grateful and excited!

I'm impressed with how much smoother my daughter reading has become in the few weeks she's been using Ello. It's so nice to have her reading to an impartial and positive voice. It's helped me learn how to respond when we're reading together. I've let up on making her sound out each word and tried to be more encouraging. She is eager to do the reading to earn more points. I feel like the reward system in Ello has so much potential. Having more outfits and accessories to choose from would help. My daughter was eager to earn her points, but was sad there weren't more options to choose from. It would also be nice if there was a higher limit on books so she was able to read 1-2 each day of the week before moving up. All-in-all Ello is fantastic, but I think it can be made even better!

Ello is helping my son read by himself, often and consistenly. He loves reading new books and getting encourage. I see him asking Ello for help with tough words and progressing with joy. Thanks!!

Ello has been amazing for my son that struggles to read and struggles with words. He's lives school but ello gives him that 1 on 1 that he really needs

Very helpful with my child when he doesn’t know certain words. Glad there are several levels to start at and be able to move up as he progresses

As a homeschool mom of 5, my time is limited. Prior to finding Ello I was struggling to make sure my kids got enough reading time in each day. Since we have started using the app, my kids can independently practice reading while I tend to other kids. We have loved using this program so far!

Ello's been a lifesaver for us! Teaching a kid to read isn't exactly in my skill set, so having this app has been amazing. My daughter's all over it, learning to read with this friendly elephant that listens to her and gently corrects when she makes any mistakes. It's great seeing her get the hang of words while I'm busy doing chores or busy with my younger son. Very happy about her reading progress!

This software is a fantastic tool for learning to read. My daughter has been using it for six months and has gone up four reading levels and 3-grade levels in her reading ability. I'm impressed, I highly recommend it.

Today we made time to start reading books in Ello box. I didn’t expect her to want to read a second book after she finished the 1st book. She read 2 books in one day! Then went a found one of stories on you tube that she just read.

This program has been helping my daughter a great deal. She doesn’t love reading on Ello, but she is learning much more. It’s not a perfect program, the videos after she finishes books don’t play loud enough to hear and when she’s reading, she often reads words wrong and it doesn’t pick up on it, (so I still have to watch everything she reads), but it’s still a good program with good book options. Makes reading easier.

I’ve tried at least half a dozen other reading apps and this is the only one my 7 year old doesn’t get frustrated with and want to quit. It’s been great to see him read! My only question is when he mispronounces words or struggles with words we were told the app remembers and uses that info. I don’t see how tho? Was expecting words he struggles with to come up in books chosen for him. But other than that it’s a great app and we are both loving it. Thank you!

It’s really quite good. The AI doesn’t always get my child’s voice but it’s great overall. I do wish we could change what books he could read because the first few were like overloaded with cats and that is fine if you like cats but it got old

The concept for the app is fantastic. The app itself works decent, but does have some hiccups. My daughter is so excited to read! Ello is a supportive, safe reading friend who doesn't judge if she misses or struggles on a word. She loves asking Ello for help.

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.

Sometimes my child is just talking and the app thinks he reading and we are not able to learn the words. Also the app kept freezing. I love the concept and will keep trying the site for a couple more weeks.
