Reading Science

Science-backed. AI-powered growth.

Finley is built on Dr. Elfrieda Ehri's landmark research on how children actually learn to read — the same science used by top literacy programs worldwide.

1

Pre-alphabetic

"Children recognize words by visual cues before connecting letters to sounds."

Levels 1–3 · Ages 4–5
2

Partial alphabetic

"Beginning and ending letter cues connect the written word to its pronunciation."

Levels 4–6 · Ages 5–6
3

Full alphabetic

"Complete letter-to-sound mappings enable full decoding of unfamiliar words."

Levels 7–9 · Ages 6–8
4

Consolidated

"Larger letter patterns and morphemes are stored as units for fluent, automatic reading."

Levels 10–15 · Ages 8–12

Adaptive AI tracks your child's phase in real time and transitions automatically — no parent action needed.

Questions

Everything you need to know

Finley is designed for children ages 4–12. Our 15 reading levels cover everything from Pre-Kindergarten letter recognition all the way through Grade 6+ fluency and comprehension. The AI automatically places your child at the right starting level.

Most apps use the same fixed content for every child. Finley's AI generates fresh, personalized stories and activities for each session based on your child's exact skill gaps. We also use Bayesian Knowledge Tracing — the same technique used in serious academic research — to track mastery at the skill level, not just score level.

The Science of Reading is a body of research — including Ehri's phases of word reading, phonological awareness research, and fluency studies — showing exactly how children's brains learn to decode written language. Finley is built on these principles, prioritizing phonics and decoding before comprehension in early levels, just as the research recommends.

We recommend 10–15 minutes per day, 4–5 days per week. Short, consistent sessions are more effective than long, infrequent ones. Finley's spaced repetition system is designed around daily short sessions to maximize retention. Our AI also detects when a child is fatiguing and adjusts difficulty to keep sessions positive.

Yes. Finley is COPPA-compliant. Children's reading data is stored securely and never sold or shared with third parties. Parents control all data through the parent PIN-gated dashboard. We collect only what we need to make the adaptive AI work.

Yes, absolutely. Cancel anytime from your account settings with one click — no hoops, no "call to cancel" games. If you cancel during your free trial you won't be charged a cent.
