How Our ADHD Reading App Works

Readability Tutor gives your child a reading experience that fits their needs, with helpful tools and support along the way.
Start With Support That Fits
Select ADHD when setting up your child’s reading experience, and our app will adjust key settings to help them follow along. You can change these anytime.
Read Aloud and Get Help
As your child reads aloud, Readability Tutor listens and follows along, stepping in with support when they get stuck on a word.
Keep Learning
Your child can build fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension with each reading session, while you follow their progress over time.

Help Your Child Keep Their Place While Reading


For some kids with ADHD, looking away for just a moment can make it harder to find where they left off.

Follow Line adds a soft highlight beneath the line your child is reading and moves along with them as they go. When their attention returns to the page, there’s a clear visual cue showing where to continue, without needing to keep track with a finger or ruler.

Real-Time Help When They Get Stuck

Reading can quickly become frustrating when your child gets stuck on a word. As they read aloud, Readability Tutor follows along and gives them support when they need help, so they can keep moving through the story.

This gives your child guided reading practice without requiring you to correct every word along the way.

Practice Understanding, Not Just Reading the Words

Getting through the words is only part of reading. After each story, Readability Tutor asks questions your child can answer aloud, giving them regular opportunities to think about and practice understanding what they’ve read.

You can turn comprehension questions on or off depending on what works best for that reading session.

Reading Practice at Their Level

Your child can choose from a library of engaging books matched to their reading level, so practice feels manageable while still giving them opportunities to grow.

Shorter, achievable reading sessions can also make it easier to fit regular reading practice into your child’s day.

More Ways to Make Reading Work for Your Child

Every child reads a little differently. Readability Tutor gives you more ways to shape their reading experience around what feels comfortable and manageable.

Roomier Line Spacing

Give each line a little more breathing room. ADHD support starts with roomier spacing, and you can adjust it further anytime.

Adjustable Tutor Speed

Choose how quickly the tutor reads aloud, with options ranging from Slowest to Quick, so you can find a pace that feels comfortable for your child.

Helpful Word Support

Your child can tap a word when they need extra help understanding its meaning, helping them build vocabulary as they read.

More Time Before Help

If your child needs another moment to work through a word, you can adjust how long the tutor waits before stepping in.

A Page That Feels Comfortable

Adjust text size, spacing, page color, and brightness to create a reading view that feels right for your child.

Progress You Can Follow

See your child’s reading activity and progress, including accuracy, fluency, and comprehension, from the parent dashboard.

Create a Reading Routine That Feels Doable


Reading practice doesn’t have to mean a long session. A shorter, focused routine can give your child time to read, get support when they need it, and finish with a sense of completion. With Readability Tutor, your child can choose a story, read aloud with support, and practice understanding what they’ve read.
A little reading practice can still be meaningful practice. 👇

What If Your Child Has ADHD and Dyslexia?


Every child’s reading needs can look a little different, and sometimes they overlap. If your child also has dyslexia, you can select both ADHD and dyslexia when setting up their reading support. Learn more about how our dyslexia app for kids supports different reading needs.

Readability Tutor combines the settings from both, giving your child a reading experience that can include Follow Line, roomier spacing, a dyslexia-friendly font, larger text, and other personalized reading supports. You can fine-tune any of these settings anytime as you learn what works best for your child.

Reading Support Designed With Care


Readability Tutor’s specialized reading settings are informed by research and designed around the different ways children may experience reading. For ADHD support, features like Follow Line and roomier line spacing help create a reading experience that’s easier to follow.

These tools aren’t designed to treat ADHD. Instead, they give your child a more personalized reading experience, with settings you can adjust anytime based on what works best for them.

"My son has ADHD and struggles to focus during reading time. With Readability Tutor, he’s finally enjoying books! The short sessions and interactive feedback help him stay on track, and he’s so proud of the rewards he earns. We’ve seen such a change in his confidence."

— Emma R., Parent
