Abound Parenting app for iPhone and iPad

OVERVIEW

Discover the secret to reading success for your 3 - 9 yr old.

Worried about where your child is on the road to reading? Wondering what you can do as a parent to help make sure your child becomes a great reader?

Abound gives parents and caregivers of young children the information and tools they need to raise strong readers, including:
A simple, research-based “check in” that shows where your child stands against age-appropriate reading benchmarks;
Daily questions written by experts to drive engaging and fun conversations with your child that will build knowledge;
A weekly academic word - critical vocabulary your child needs to know for school success;
Carefully curated book recommendations based on your child’s current stage of development.

Kids learn through repeated exposures to information, and slowly building up knowledge about a subject over time. But what parent has time to organize that? Abound uses the structure of a 2-week theme, with a plan of quick-and-regular conversations, to fit into busy schedules without putting your child in front of another screen. Youre already talking with your child -- Abound motivates you to talk in a way that grows your childs brain and sets your child up to read well in the years ahead.

Parents who use Abound are grateful to learn what it takes for their child to read well. But they talk the most about how surprised they are with what their child comes up with, and how good it feels to connect in ways that are so very satisfying.
