Identify and Prevent Dyslexia Risk with the Pip School Program
Start your child on the path to reading success
How does the Pip School Program work?
The Pip School Program is designed specifically for pre-readers and children with reading challenges or dyslexia. It combines our award-winning assessment, 1-on-1 guidance from an expert Literacy Specialist, and a game filled with science-backed exercises that teach foundational literacy skills.
What does the Pip School Program include?
A Dedicated Expert
Kick off the journey with a dedicated Literacy Specialist (an expert in learning to read) to assess your child’s unique reading profile and customize your child’s action plan. They will be your family’s reading coach and check in with you to help guide your child’s learning and ensure progress.
The EarlyBird Assessment
EarlyBird’s award-winning assessment and dyslexia screener was developed and scientifically validated at Boston Children’s Hospital in partnership with faculty at the Florida Center for Reading Research. Administered by your Literacy Specialist, this assessment will give you a detailed picture of what reading skills your child knows and an understanding of your child’s risk for dyslexia or other reading challenges.

The Pip School Game
With research-based methods, the Pip School game delights your child with fun exercises that improve their comprehension and phonological awareness skills. Your child plays with Pip and his animal friends for 15-30 minute sessions, paced to your child’s level. We recommend they play at least 4 times per week.

The risk of waiting is too high – and reading challenges are preventable!
Research has proven that addressing reading problems early prevents them from happening later.
- Risk of reading challenges can be identified in pre-readers
- With early and effective instruction, over 90% of children will become readers
- ½ hour of instruction in Kindergarten is equivalent to 2 hours in 4th grade

Why choose the Pip School Program?
Unlike traditional tutoring, our intervention can be used 7 days a week, at a time convenient to your family. We teach fundamental skills not often taught in schools. These skills are essential for children with dyslexia and reading challenges and also benefit all pre-readers.
Starts Early
Research shows that early intervention can prevent the risk of dyslexia. The path to reading starts even before Kindergarten and an early understanding of sound patterns in spoken language helps your child crack the reading code.
Personalized
Your child will build the phonological awareness and language comprehension skills needed to be ready to read. With a personalized learning path and rewards system, they will master activities often used in intensive intervention and tutoring.
Data Driven
For parents, Pip School shows progress through easy to understand reports and a customized action plan created by literacy experts. Even children showing signs of reading struggles or dyslexia will show progress.
Includes the EarlyBird Assessment
With your Pip School subscription, you receive the award-winning EarlyBird Assessment for free. This includes a comprehensive look into your child’s literacy strengths and weaknesses.
What does the Pip School app's instruction look like?
The Pip School Program focuses on the pre-reading skills essential to learning to read. We start with phonological awareness and language comprehension.
Your child learns these skills through proven activities in a game-based app. When practicing phonological awareness, your child uses tiles to represent sounds and words. We use voice recognition specifically developed for children. With language comprehension, your child creates scenes to match sentences they hear, and they sort objects into groups based on meaning.
This approach is aligned with the Science of Reading.
