Grade-level progress reports you can share with their teacher. Track accuracy, reading level advancement, and skill mastery โ€” all in one place.

Built on the Science of Reading

Not another game. A proven approach.

Finley follows Ehri's four phases of word reading development โ€” the same framework used by leading schools and universities. Your child doesn't just memorize words; they build the cognitive architecture for lifelong reading fluency.

Bayesian Knowledge Tracing, borrowed from intelligent tutoring research, ensures your child masters each skill before moving on. No skipping ahead, no falling behind.

"Trusted by reading researchers. Proven by decades of cognitive science."

Frequently asked

Finley is designed for children ages 4โ€“12, spanning Pre-K through Grade 6+. The app starts with a short assessment to determine your child's current level, then builds a personalized path from there. Whether your child is just beginning to recognize letters or is already reading chapter books, Finley meets them where they are.
Finley uses Bayesian Knowledge Tracing โ€” a technique from intelligent tutoring systems research โ€” to model your child's mastery of 40+ reading skills in real time. Every tap, every response, every hesitation updates the model. The AI then selects the next word, passage, or exercise most likely to deepen mastery. Read the full technical explanation โ†’
