10 Reasons Mentava is the Best Learn to Read Software
“Stupid to do it any other way!”
#1
From Zero to Early Reader (Fast)
Their goal: take a child from “no reading yet” to being able to read books like Green Eggs and Ham or Elephant & Piggie in under a year — often much sooner with consistent practice.
#2
Built on Scientific Phonics Foundations
Mentava’s curriculum is deeply grounded in phonics research and designed to teach children how to decode, blend, and read independently — not just recognize letters.
#3
Hiring a private reading tutor can cost $60–$120+ per hour, and most families need multiple sessions per week to see progress. Mentava gives you a research-driven reading system, daily structured lessons, and expert support for a fraction of that price.
More Affordable Than a Private Tutor
#4
Clear Developmental Pathway — Including for Younger Kids
For children who aren’t yet ready for full reading tasks, Mentava offers its “Basics” version to build letter/sound pairings until they’re ready.
#5
Designed to Replace “Screen Time Babysitting” with Real Learning
Unlike many kids’ apps which are entertainment-first, Mentava emphasises learning, not just engagement.
#6
Great for Busy Parents — Do Just ~20 Minutes a Day
The promise: with about 20 minutes of deliberate practice a day, your child can make meaningful, measurable reading progress.
#7
Trial Period & Transparent Pricing
Mentava backs its results: try Mentava and if your child isn't reading don’t use it. Plus, the cost-benefit is strong versus private tutors.
#8
Advanced Multimedia Feedback to Build Skills Like Blending
Their software uses visual & tactile feedback (e.g., waveforms showing pauses in sounds) so kids learn blending instead of just memorising.
#9
Accelerate all learning, not just reading.
Beyond skills, Mentava emphasizes building self-sufficient learners who want to read. These early reads are proven to be ahead of the curve on math and other subjects.
#10
Includes Their Best-Selling Free “Alphabet Sounds” Book
Their software uses visual & tactile feedback (e.g., waveforms showing pauses in sounds) so kids learn blending instead of just memorising.
