Duolingo ABC — Learn-to-read app for kids 3-7

I am saying, as a Reading Specialist and educator for the past 20 years, that I am really impressed by Duolingo ABC

First, a little Duolingo ABC background

I receive dozens of inquiries each week asking me to review this app or that, this new literacy-related software or that. But when I heard from my friends at Duolingo, I was intrigued.

“We created Duolingo ABC to tackle the global problem of illiteracy,” said Luis von Ahn, CEO and Co-Founder of Duolingo.

Find the app here: Duolingo ABC

Duolingo ABC is still in development. The app is currently only available in the App Store in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the United States.

Our experience with Duolingo ABC

My 3-year-old niece, Cecilia, had the chance to try out the app, and she loves it.
