Ello

Ello is your child’s read-along companion who listens, teaches, and transforms them into an enthusiastic reader. For Kindergarten to 3rd Grade

Ello teaches reading and math to children aged four to nine through an AI-powered app that listens to the child and adjusts in real time. Pitched as a read-along companion for kindergarten through third grade, it also covers a full reading and math curriculum taught one-on-one, and it is available on iOS and Android.

The app makes teaching decisions in the moment, so no two children get the same sequence of activities. What is included, according to the site: interactive reading and math lessons, create-your-own books built from stories the child invents, a library of thousands of leveled books grounded in the Science of Reading, a personalized daily plan that adapts to interests and growth areas, and parent progress reports covering strengths, development areas, and milestones. The makers describe themselves as parents too, and in the education category Ello stands out for its focus on early readers.

The site currently invites families to join a waitlist for early access to Ello 2.0 and mentions free daily activities, but it does not spell out a pricing model. Join the waitlist, then use the daily activities and progress reports to see how your child responds.
