Readfox: reading fluency coach for any book

About this app

What Readfox does

Free. No ads, no subscription, no account. Nothing your child says ever leaves the device. Readfox turns any physical book into a reading-fluency session. Point the camera at the page your child is about to read; the words appear on your phone or iPad. As your child reads aloud from the real book, Readfox follows along word by word, marks what was read cleanly, what was skipped or said differently, and where they paused. At the end you get the number teachers use — words correct per minute — plus accuracy and a deck of the exact words to practice. WHY FAMILIES SWITCH • Works with the books you already own. No library to buy, no subscription, no ads, no screen in front of the child — their eyes stay on paper. • The teacher's metric. Words correct per minute and accuracy, compared with typical grade-level ranges, tracked week over week. • Private by design. Speech recognition and page reading run on the device. No audio, photo or text is uploaded. There is no account. WHAT YOU GET • Scan a page: on-device text recognition reads the page; fix any misread word before you start • Paste any text: worksheets, poems, a paragraph from a website • Starter passages: fourteen original stories leveled K–6 so you can try it in a minute • Live follow-along: words light up as they are read; skipped and substituted words are marked • Gentle hints: after a long pause, tap to hear the word read aloud, or let your reader tap it themselves • Results: words correct per minute, accuracy, reading time, typical-range comparison • Hot reads: read the same page again and watch the score climb — the fastest way to build fluency • Tricky-words deck: every stumble becomes a flashcard; three wins and it graduates • Growth: fluency and minutes-per-day charts, streaks, and a CSV export for teachers • Multiple readers: each child has their own goal, level and history BUILT FOR APPLE WATCH See today's reading minutes and streak on your wrist. During a read, the Watch shows live progress and words-correct-per-minute, and lets you send a word hint or end the session without touching the phone. WHO IT IS FOR Parents of readers in kindergarten through grade 6, homeschool families, tutors, and anyone helping a reader who needs extra practice. Readfox is operated by the grown-up; the child reads a real book. GOOD TO KNOW Readfox uses on-device English speech recognition and needs a device that supports it. Fluency reference ranges are based on published oral reading fluency norms and are a guide for practice, not an assessment or diagnosis.
