Reading Practice
for Tweens Who Still Struggle

But Hate Being Treated Like Babies

Ages 9-16 • For kids reading 2-3 years below grade level who need vocabulary that respects their age

Your 12-year-old shouldn’t be reading about cats and mats. Ours uses CRASH, SCRIPT, and GLITCH – same phonics patterns, vocabulary that doesn’t make them feel stupid.

When your neurodivergent child starts to struggle, Vedyx Leap quietly adjusts the story, pacing, and support – before frustration turns into shutdown.

Ages 9–16 • For struggling readers

 

Real words. Real respect.
Not cats and mats — we use CRASH, SCRIPT, GLITCH.

 

Vedyx Leap adapts quietly
So support comes before frustration or shutdown.

Here's How Vedyx Leap Works

child reading and learning

Your Child Picks Their Mood

Overwhelmed • High-Energy • Calm

The work adjusts - but the vocabulary always respects their age.

ai adapts to child

The app adapts as they read

Vedyx notices struggle and adjusts instantly:

Shorter sentences, more white space, fewer words, gentler prompts, even break suggestions.

delivers customised learning

They Actually Succeed

Because the challenge matches their capacity right now, they finish. They feel capable. They come back tomorrow.

She didn’t feel talked down to

“My daughter is 13 and dyslexic, still working on blends. Every app we tried had ‘The frog can jump’ and ‘I like to play.’ She’d last 2 minutes before rage-quitting. Vedyx uses words like ‘drift,’ ‘crash,’ ‘script’ -words she actually says. She finished an entire session without shutting down. That’s never happened. “

– Sharone K., parent of dyslexic 13-year-old

What your child actually does.

Why This Is Different

It’s built specifically for minds that think differently, with features that actually make a difference

Age-Respectful Content

Mysteries, space, adventures, real-world topics written simply but never babyish. Your 12-year-old's intelligence is respected while their decoding gaps get support.

Mood-First, Not Level-First

Most apps ask: "What grade level?" We ask: "How are you feeling?" Because a child who is overstimulated cannot do “grade-level” anything. We adjust to their capacity, not their age.

Prevents meltdowns before they happen

Tiny signs of struggle trigger gentle changes in content and delivery before frustration peaks.

No labels, no boxes to check

ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, PDA, don’t know? The app adapts based on their learning patterns, not a diagnosis. Because no two days are ever the same.

Why most phonics apps fail older kids

Most phonics programs are designed for 6-year-olds.

When your 11-year-old opens an app and sees:
– “The cat sat on the mat”
– Pictures of farm animals
– Worksheets about pets and toys

They feel infantilized and broken. They shut down.

But they still need the foundational skills. That’s the gap Vedyx Leap fills – with age appropriate vocabulary, story settings and scaffolding.

What Parents Are Saying

Real stories from parents who have discovered the Vedyx difference

Works really well for both my kids.

“The instant ‘overwhelmed mood’ generator is a huge blessing. With two kids in different moods on any given day……..,  It’s like having a special ed teacher in my pocket.”
— Jamie V, homeschooling parent

Truly made things easier…

“I used to spend an hour on Teachers Pay Teachers trying to find ‘the right one.’ Now I just click a button. Life-changing.”
— Amit K, dad of 9yo autistic daughter

This saved Tuesday night.

“This saved Tuesday night. My kid actually stayed regulated through a phonics worksheet. I didn’t know that was possible.”
— Sara S, mom of 7yo with ADHD

Small Wins

“She used to shut down the moment I said ‘let’s read.’ Yesterday, she asked if we could do another round. I just sat there for a second. That’s how big this is for us.”

Maya P., parent of an ADHD 10-year-old

Former cynic here…

“I usually roll my eyes at ‘neurodivergent-friendly’ anything. But this… this was built by people who actually live this life. You can feel it in the way it doesn’t judge.”  – Karthik M., parent of a dyslexic 12-year-old

Realistic Hope

“It’s not magic. She still struggles. We still have hard days. But now, she’s trying again. And that’s everything.” — Sofia T., parent of a dyslexic 13-year-old

“You can tell this was made by someone who’s been in the trenches – not just someone who’s read about it. There’s no pity here. Just understanding.” – Nia’s mom, ADHD + autistic household

Our Philosophy

I built this because my own child shut down every time reading got hard. Not because they couldn’t read, but because the work never matched their brain that day.

Built on Universal Design for Learning principles (UDL), Vedyx Leap creates a space where neurodivergent minds can explore learning at their own pace, with support that shows up exactly when they need it.
