Ello aims to provide a natural AI teaching experience to support children's learning regardless of their resources. Its flagship product is an advanced reading coach that utilizes proprietary speech recognition and generative AI. Ello acts as a read-along companion that listens to your child, provides instruction, and helps build enthusiasm for reading for students in Kindergarten to 3rd Grade.
Ello utilizes speech recognition and generative AI to listen to your child read aloud, offering support, corrections, and encouragement. Children simply select a book within the app to begin reading, and Ello provides assistance whenever they encounter a difficult word.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Ello app is compatible with iPhones and iPads running iOS 14 or later. Please note that Ello is not currently available for Android, Samsung tablets, Kindle tablets, laptops, or desktop computers.
