Unlock the Joy of Reading with OgStar Reading Explore

OgStar Reading Explore offers a captivating digital platform designed to foster a love for reading in children through interactive and engaging content, but it needs improvements in usability to enhance the user experience.
Available for free, the OgStar Reading® Explore app offers parents and teachers an opportunity to delve into how our applications effectively instill reading, writing, and spelling skills in children through a multisensory approach. Users can sample the initial four lessons in the OgStar sequence before considering purchasing the appropriate OgStar app for their child on the App Store to further enhance literacy development. The efficacy of Structured Literacy is underscored throughout the educational process.
OgStar Reading® Explore serves as a gateway for preschool and elementary students into our other literacy games within the OgStar Reading series, all rooted in the esteemed Orton-Gillingham methodology. Through this app, students engage in activities that aim to bolster:
- Phonological awareness
- Systematic/synthetic phonics
- Multisensory sound-symbol associations
- Oral reading of phonetically-controlled words
- Finger tracing and writing of pseudo-words and real words in isolation
With captivating reading experiences, OgStar Reading® Explore incorporates mini-games and rewards to sustain student motivation and engagement. The app, boasting patent-pending technology, integrates features such as handwriting recognition feedback, speech recognition feedback, audio-visual synchronization, voice-over correction feedback, and text-to-speech functionality.
Furthermore, parents and teachers can access comprehensive data on student performance and progression through the dedicated Parent/Teacher Portal. This delightful, multisensory approach to Structured Literacy empowers students to autonomously cultivate evidence-based literacy skills in alignment with scientifically endorsed standards as recommended by the National Reading Panel. Such methodologies are pivotal in guiding students towards achieving reading proficiency.
