Know exactly how to help your child read
Owlit watches over every reading session—then shows you precisely where your child needs support, and how to give it. More connection. More confidence. More love of reading.
Our Mission
We believe reading is one of the most profound ways parents and children connect. Owlit's job isn't to replace that connection—it's to remove the friction that gets in the way. When parents can stop correcting and start encouraging, magic happens. Kids gain confidence. Parents gain peace. And families fall in love with reading together.
Partner with your child's reading journey
See exactly where they struggle
Owlit identifies the specific words, patterns, and sounds your child finds difficult—so you know exactly what to practice together.
Get personalized coaching tips
Each week, receive simple activities tailored to your child's challenges. 'Practice these 5 words at breakfast.' 'Try this game for the -ight pattern.'
Be the encourager, not the corrector
When Owlit handles in-the-moment feedback, you get to focus on what matters: celebrating progress, sharing stories, and building a love of reading together.
Fall in love with reading together
Our goal isn't to replace you—it's to make reading time a joy again. Less frustration, more connection, more 'one more chapter, please!'
