What it does
Mentava's software-based tutor teaches kids as young as 2 to read. Unlike edutainment apps that are designed to be screen-based babysitters, Mentava's goal is to get kids to a 2nd grade reading level as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Mentava helps young children learn to read with structured daily practice and support from an on-call reading coach.
Go from zero to reading books in 15-30 minutes/day. Literacy software designed for preschoolers, a coach on call, and nobody in your house has to be the teacher . “I was skeptical paying 500/mo for an app but it appears Mentava … works.” “My 1st grader and kindergartner are the best readers in their class.” “In about a week and a half he's gone from not recognizing most letters to reading three-letter words pretty reliably.” Mentava combines structured software and an on-call coach so your child can practice independently while you stay the parent. No lesson planning, curriculum research, or wondering what to teach next. Short, focused daily sessions built around active practice—not passive…from mentava.com
