About fREADom

Built on 7.5 years of primary and secondary research, Freadom is an adaptive mobile reading app that helps children learn to read in English by instilling a daily reading habit. It provides parents and teachers curated and levelised stories, activities, quizzes and daily positive news to enjoy with the child

It first locates the users' reading level and then navigates them to the desired level, basis a proprietary reading scale developed by Stones2Milestones. The aim is to encourage family bonding over time spent reading together from an early age, which studies have found to be the most effective way of nurturing a lifelong reading habit

We use an AI ready recommendation engine to match users to the most relevant content. Detailed data collection allows us to share regular traction reports for all content on Freadom and customise content for users

User profile metrics, a Leaderboard and monthly reports sent to schools help track and celebrate the child's progress.
