Reading Raven (iPad only) by Early Ascent, LLC is an app for children ages three to five. Unlike most early literacy apps that focus on one or two skills, Reading Raven builds a solid foundation of early reading skills for children by systematically designing an app that builds as little readers grow and learn.Â
Understanding how letters look and sound are the most critical foundations for children to start reading. Understanding how letters sound and putting them together to make words sums up the foundation of early literacy. Reading Raven smartly accomplishes these tasks and more.Â
The premise behind Reading Raven  is teaching young children a phonics-based approach to early reading. This is not something that was just put together. The developer has taken the time to draw on the experience and expertise of reading specialists and educators in designing this app. This is a key ingredient in development from both an educational and parental perspective. Â
It is clear that Reading Raven was developed with a lot of thought of care. The app has a comprehensive guide that is parent-friendly. Parents and teachers can set learning level for a variety of activities, or for one activity at a time.Â
Activities are grouped based on age. In the three-year-old level, the activities are  Letter Matching, Letter Tracing, Letter Recognition, and Word Matching.
For four-year-olds, the activities are Vocabulary, Word Beginnings, Word Building, and Word Spotting.
Then at five, the activities are Reading Aloud Using Voice Recording, Word Tracing, and Word Groups. All of these skills are integral in raising a reader.
The app has an inviting interface and is easy to use. One awesome feature helps in decoding words – children can tap a letter to hear phonemes and then sweep the letters to hear the whole word – brilliant.Â
Reading Raven is an app designed for the iPad that comprehensively and systematically teaches young children early literacy skills. Customizable for individualized learning, with a variety of multi-sensory activities that truly engage and interest young children, Reading Raven  is well worth the $3.99.Â

Would love this app for my son. Thank you for the chance to win it.
i would like a code for my daughter! thanks!
I am a reading teacher and I just received an iPad through my district this week. This sounds like a great app to use with my kindergartners. I’m not allowed to buy apps and it doesn’t sound like getting a paid app through our district will be an easy process, so a free code would be wonderful! Thanks for the review.
What a wonderful prize and thank you for sharing the app. As a teacher and momma, we have to keep those little brains “fed” with knowledge. Technology is such a great way to assist in learning!
This looks awesome!
I would love to try this app for my middle school child that is still struggling to read.
Thanks,
Cynthia
I hope my kids love it.
