Soon, we’ll be adding first grade lessons, working on a version for Android, and eventually adding other languages! How does Duolingo ABC teach kids to read? Currently, Duolingo ABC is available on iOS and includes lessons up through the kindergarten level of our English course. When schools had to close because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Duolingo decided to release Duolingo ABC earlier than planned in an effort to meet the needs of parents and kids.
And just like you've come to expect from Duolingo, using the app feels more like playing a game than doing homework. And did we mention that it’s free? Yep, it’s all free, and there are no ads or in-app purchases, either. Its intuitive design makes it easy for kids to use with or without a grown-up to help guide them. That’s what we had in mind when we created Duolingo ABC, a step-by-step reading program developed by our learning experts. We knew that parents needed a great reading program that their kids could use on their own, and kids needed a reading program that was as fun as a game. And that was before COVID-19! Now, many parents are struggling to play an even bigger role in their child’s education. Parents also reported that they feel guilty about giving their kids screen time if it’s not educational. They don’t feel like they have enough time to facilitate learning.They lack expertise in teaching reading skills.In October 2019, we asked 100 parents what was most challenging about helping their kids learn to read. In this post, we're excited to introduce you to Duolingo ABC, a literacy app for kids ages 3 and over! Why did we create a literacy app? That's why we created a new app to teach learners around the world how to read. At Duolingo, we're committed to supporting free, high-quality education for all kinds of learners, and we know how important literacy is to learning throughout your life. Research has shown that students with low reading levels are more likely to get poor grades, display behavioral problems, repeat school years, or even drop out of school entirely.īut not all kids have access to high-quality literacy instruction that’s based on current research. Reading is an essential skill that impacts all other educational outcomes.
