The Science of Reading

Choose Your Reader focuses on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Education On-Demand

Using Choose Your Reader, teachers record and send stories to their students, giving parents and students education on-demand.

Stories, and So Much More

Choose Your Reader’s curated content offers an immersive reading experience to engage young readers. And our library continues to expand.

...

Choose Your Reader’s innovative technology includes:

  • Guided reading, highlighting each word as it is read, which promotes greater awareness and fluency
  • Greater teacher-student connection, using the power of the teacher’s voice
  • Individualized content selection, based on each student’s proficiency and interests
  • Unlimited online access to books in multiple languages, which supports multi-lingual education 
  • Access to stored recordings that eliminates the need to re-record content each year
  • Feedback to the teacher when a student listens to a story to promote parent and student engagement and tracking 

The Choose Your Reader app is groundbreaking and patent-pending. No other app can do what Choose Your Reader does.

WHO WE ARE

Choose Your Reader was founded in 2017 to promote literacy and language fluency. The Choose Your Reader mobile app supports early readers as they develop language and literacy skills.
Choose Your Reader has developed Content Guidelines that we use to evaluate individual books and our library as a whole. In this way, we are committed partners for schools and educators.

WHAT WE OFFER

The Choose Your Reader mobile app uses children’s books, including timeless classics and exclusive content, to teach students to read in a chosen language. Just as important, the stories in the Choose Your Reader app are read to students by a familiar voice: the student’s teacher.

No artificial intelligence. No strangers’ voices.

Choose Your Reader is the next advancement in early language and literacy education, but still retains the connection and relationship between teacher and student. As reading instruction has evolved, the technology supporting education must evolve. Choose Your Reader embraces that evolution without abandoning the most important factor, the teacher-student relationship.

With Choose Your Reader, the possibilities for engagement are endless. Imagine:

  • Before the first day of school, students connect with their teacher through recorded stories
  • During extended breaks, students can maintain and improve their language and literacy fluency
  • Students can access a story in their native and a second (or even third) language, which accelerates their development across multiple languages
  • Teachers can monitor app usage to target efforts to increase engagement more effectively
  • Content available in English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin

WHY WE DO IT

Choose Your Reader was invented by a father to connect with his young son. Now that he is older (and scoring off the charts on reading proficiency tests), the mission remains the same: using technology to build stronger relationships and better readers.
The founder and inventor of Choose Your Reader has a strong history of supporting education. His passion also includes writing and creating engaging characters. Bringing those two passions together was a atural outcome. And the Choose Your Reader mobile app is the result.

HOW WE DO IT

The Choose Your Reader Foundation partners with schools to identify grants to offset the costs of the Choose Your Reader mobile app.

CONTENT GUIDELINES

We strive to offer stories that focus on making good decisions, the long-term consequences of our actions, and being aware of how others may feel. Inclusion and acceptance are priorities.
We are committed to including stories from and about people in marginalized communities. We highlight our individual differences as collective strengths and our individual strengths as an opportunity to contribute to the greater good.
We do not denigrate others, individually or collectively. We are honest about our past, optimistic about our future, and proactive in the present.
We are global citizens first and foremost.
