Is your child struggling to read?There is a way to help.
Pele helps children practice reading easily, with fun and a sense of success — without leaving home.
Does this sound familiar?

Losing confidence
Feels less capable and included
The gap keeps growing
Reading less means falling further behind
The good news — reading can improve!
Reading is like a muscle — consistent, focused practice will improve it.
Just as to improve at swimming you need to get in the water and swim.
What is the problem?
Reading practice is hard, tiring, and boring — so children do not want to read.
Meet Pele
We developed an approach that helps children read easily, enjoyably, and improve in a meaningful way.
Our method is like training wheels for reading
In Pele, the child does not read alone — and we do not correct them either. We create a safe environment and an experience of success from the very first session, with a narrator accompanying them throughout.
With this approach, the child can build many hours of reading without frustration — and improve.
Our method is called Echo Reading
The narrator reads a sentence. The child listens and follows the highlighted words with their eyes, then reads it back — just like an echo.
Try it yourself
I love reading books and improving every day
Why does the method work?
Bottom line
Children keep going when practice feels easy and they experience success.
What parents are starting to share
“It really helps his confidence… he read aloud and wasn't afraid of what others would say. Wow — that's amazing.”

What does the program include?
- Reading-fluency assessment decoded by a diagnostician, so you can know the fluency gap and measure progress over time — at no cost
- Two months reading practice on Pele, unlimited, with ongoing team support — at no cost
- The goal in the first two months: build a practice habit, a success experience, and a foundation for automatic reading
- From month three, continued unlimited reading practice on Pele with ongoing team support — 200 NIS per month
- A follow-up reading-fluency assessment to check progress after six months — 100 NIS
- Join a shared WhatsApp group — peer learning among parents, and feedback that helps us keep improving
Setting expectations (important)
The program is for children who have built basic reading skills (letter and sound recognition) but have not yet reached fluent reading.
Reading improves through consistency. The program is for families ready to commit for at least two months, with a minimum of 50 minutes of practice per week.
Because we are in a pilot, your feedback matters so we can keep improving.
Ready to start practicing?
Is this right for your child?
A good fit if
- Your child already has a basic reading foundation — roughly end of 2nd grade and up
- Your child reads slowly and inaccurately
- Your child doesn't understand what they read but understands well when read to aloud
- Your child avoids reading
- Your family is willing to invest at least twice a week in short practice sessions
Not a fit if
- Your child has not yet built basic reading skills (letter and sound recognition)
- You are looking for a one-time solution, not ongoing practice
- You are not ready for a two-month commitment
Online full session for parents and kids
For your convenience we've recorded a full session (40 minutes), covering a detailed explanation of the reading challenge, our method and Pele demonstration. It is important to watch the first part of the movie with your child in order to connect them to the process.

Questions parents ask
How long until we see change?
Reading fluency improves gradually. Meaningful improvement builds over time and consistency — and from our experience, the pace of progress varies from child to child.
Who is the program for?
The program is designed for students who struggle with reading — whether children with dyslexia or children who need encouragement and confidence at the start.
Who is the program not for?
The program is not suitable for children who have not yet built basic reading skills and do not recognize letters and sounds. It is also not suitable for those who are not available for a process that takes time. Unfortunately there is no magic — improvement cannot be seen after only a few short sessions.
Does this replace private tutoring or remedial teaching?
Not necessarily. Pele focuses on developing reading fluency and works with the child on reading pace and accuracy, which in turn also improves reading comprehension. Practice on Pele can complement work with a private tutor or remedial teacher, or be the primary intervention when fluency is the central challenge.
How much time do we need to invest?
To reach improvement, you need a minimum practice volume of about one hour per week — 2–3 sessions of 25 minutes per week.
