Booksy app review: give kids a starting point for reading 2021

Introduction

If you are a parent to a child from Pre-K to Grade Two then we have a kids app for learning to reat that can help you get your kid off to a great start when it comes to reading.

The best iPhone learning to read apps for kids

The Booksy learn to read app can be used on your iPad and is a learn-to-read platform. This educational app offers a handful of free books for children to get started with so they can familiarize themselves with how to use the app.

It is meant for kids to use so with that in mind the menus, navigation, and tools are all kid-friendly. Continue reading our Booksy app review to see if it's one of the best apps for learning to read.

Immerse Kids in Reading

The Booksy app really gives kids the chance to immerse themselves in reading in a way that is engaging and fun. Kids are going to want to use this app due to the fun factor rather than seeing it as a learning tool.

The best iPad apps for learning how to read

All the books are of course age-appropriate so you don't have to worry about the content and vocabulary being too challenging or not challenging enough. To top it off there is a parent section that allows you to track their progress and see exactly how well they are doing.

As mentioned you are getting a handful of books for free and from that point you can make in-app purchases of additional books each priced at $0.99.

The app was just updated recently with a brand-new user interface design, an awards page to use, additional books, and the new parent dashboard. The app currently has 3.5 out of five stars but doesn't yet have any customer comments.
 

A Educational Reading Experience

Pretty much anytime you read with your kids you are providing an educational experience but this is a way to build a library that is perfectly suited for kids ages five and under. The books all feature some rather cool tools such as the ability to tap on any word for kids to hear it read out-loud.

This is a great way to learn words they may be having problems with. Each of the books have high-quality and engaging illustrations, players will receive awards for reading and a star when they finish a book, and there are quizzes to help reinforce what they just learned.

What I really enjoy is the careful attention that has been paid to the content of the books. Not only are they easy for kids to understand and follow but they are always the perfect length.
