Your child will learn to love reading again after using the WholeReader from Firm Foundation Academy!

The immersive reading software features a collection of K to 12 children’s books from renowned authors such as Beatrix Potter, Katharine Pyle, Edith Nesbit, and Louisa May Alcott. The books are read aloud to your child to help improve their retention and comprehension.

WholeReader utilizes an immersive reading technique, which optimizes your child’s understanding and vocabulary acquisition by engaging both their eyes and their ears simultaneously. Similar to how people remember songs, by adding the rhythmic element of narration to the text, your child will more easily remember what they are reading, and as a result, can interact with the literature on a deeper level.

Using the WholeReader app is simple. After downloading the app, you must sign your child up for a placement test. This test determines their starting reading level in order to prepare a personalized collection of suitable books for them to read. Once the test is complete, your child gains full access to this carousel of recommended books and can start reading them immediately.

You're encouraged to assign your child daily reading goals; Firm Foundation Academy recommends they strive for 45 minutes each day. Their reading time is tracked at the bottom of the screen, and compiled into a weekly report that you receive at the end of each week. Every two months, your child can retake the placement test and move up the literacy ladder.

Firm Foundation Academy suggests that your child aims to read at a 97% comprehension level for optimal learning, leaving just 3% of new words to remember. Most children see dramatic changes after just two weeks.

WholeReader includes thousands of books to choose from, with more titles being added daily. In addition to children’s books, the library includes other genres such as novels, verse, ideas, history, science, and Christianity. Gifted voice actors specializing in text dictation narrate all of the books.

“With WholeReader, you don’t just read a book, you listen to it too and it helps you improve your pronunciation,” said a current user. “I’m learning many new words every day that I never would have been able to learn in English at school.”

The WholeReader app is compatible with all operating systems and is formatted for use on computers, tablets, and mobile devices. The app is available for download on both the App Store and Google Play.

There are three subscription options for WholeReader—Monthly, Annual, and Family. The Monthly plan is $10 a month, while the Annual is $100 per year. The Family plan is $25 per month but can be used by up to five different family members. You can also try out the WholeReader App for free for 30 days by visiting the website above.
