FAQ from Ello

What age range is Ello designed for? +

Ello provides books suitable for reading levels from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. While it is generally best for children aged 4–8, suitability depends on individual reading ability. If a child can read the sentence “I am a cat,” they are ready for the earliest level of books.

What is included in my membership? +

An Ello membership includes full app access with digital coaching powered by Adaptive Learn Technology, access to Ello’s library of decodable books, and digital rewards for your child’s progress.

How much does Ello cost? +

Ello with e-books is priced at $14.99 per month or $139 per year (a 23% discount). For those who wish to read without the AI coaching experience, a free public library featuring over 700 decodable e-books is available.

Is Ello suitable for children with dyslexia? +

Ello’s instructional method was created by reading specialists with expertise in dyslexia intervention, utilizing direct, explicit, and sequential phonics instruction—a method supported by research for helping children with dyslexia. While Ello is not a comprehensive curriculum or intervention model, it serves as a helpful supplement, and many children with dyslexia use it successfully.
