Can my kindergartener use Dilly?

Yes, with a grown-up beside them. Dilly does not read out loud, but your iPhone or iPad can.

Yes. Dilly is for students in kindergarten through grade 12. Some kindergarteners are still learning to read, so a grown-up beside them helps.

What your child sees

Before a mission, a kindergartener, first grader or second grader sees one line: "Read this together with a grown-up."

What you see

In the Parent/Teacher area, next to your child's grade, a note says, "Younger readers do best with a grown-up beside them. Read each screen out loud together."

Dilly does not read out loud

The app does not speak. Your iPhone or iPad has a feature that can. See Does Dilly read out loud?

Under 13

A parent or guardian says yes before a child under 13 starts. See A parent says yes first.

Choices, not typing

Teaching your companion uses prepared choices, so there is no typing. Missions have a few writing steps.
