We are no strangers to technology in our house. My kids have their own laptop and tablets. They use them for homework and recreational purposes and we give them a lot of freedom with their screen time. We do, however, make sure they have plenty of educational material to pick from. I’m especially a fan of any programs that encourage reading and help them develop reading skills. One of our recent favorites is the Homer Learn-to-Read program. A recent study by the former US Assistant Secretary of Education showed Homer nearly doubled early literacy scores in just 6 weeks and is shown to boost early reading score by 74%! That’s pretty amazing if you ask me! And my kids really enjoy the program too!
The easy to use Homer Learn-to-Read program was designed to help kids develop a natural love of reading, something that is really important to me. The benefits of Homer include:
- A complete start-to-finish program
- Over 1000+ reading lessons to boost children’s confidence
- Library of over 200 engaging songs and stories
- Fun avatars and rewards motivate children to love learning
- Positive environment for all reading levels and learners
- Easy navigation allows children to learn on their own
- Available on web, iPhone, and iPad
- Up to 4 children can learn on one account – perfect for busy parents!
- Parents can track children’s progress and have access to free printable activity sheets

I love how some of the content covers science and explores different topics like sea life. My kids really take an interest in learning new things and love the photographs in these virtual books.
Another thing I really love is how Homer helps develop reading skill by using different techniques that give kids confidence and empower them to read on their. Overall, I’m pretty impressed with this fully loaded up and think it’s a valuable tool for any parent with early readers! Download it today and tell summer learning loss to take a hike!
