Teaching people how to read and write can change lives. “We created Duolingo ABC to tackle the global problem of illiteracy. In a statement, Luis von Ahn, CEO and co-founder of Duolingo, commented on the app: Kids are asked to complete activities in a specific order, and they can replay any activities they’ve already completed.
For instance, one activity may contain a short story, allowing kids to read along with the narrator as each word is highlighted on the screen, while another activity may show kids a variety of objects and ask them to tap the ones that begin with a certain letter. Once kids are in the app, they can complete over 300 lessons that focus on topics like the alphabet, phonics, and more. The app contains speaking exercises, so parents will also be asked if they want to give the app access to the device’s microphone.
In Duolingo ABC, parents can begin by entering their child’s name or nickname, and then their age. It was designed to be used by kids from 3 to 6 years old. What’s even better is that the app is both free and won’t run any ads! Duolingo has a reputation for being a really well-structured and effective means of learning a new language, so Duolingo ABC is a great resource for parents looking to help their kids learn to read and write.Duolingo, the company behind the popular language learning app of the same name, has released a new app designed to help kids learn to read.ĭuolingo ABC is available on iOS in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Yet if your kids are willing to brave his rage (he’s like Gordon Ramsey - far nicer to kids than adults), then Duolingo ABC might be exactly what they need to finally start reading all on their own! While it was meant to launch later in the year, due to millions of kids now stuck at home and constantly bugging their parents, the company behind the original Duolingo app thought it would be helpful to have some form of structured lesson plan in place for kids still learning the basics of literacy.
