Dyslexia affects decoding, not intelligence or curiosity. Lumi Academy delivers every subject through narrated, tap-to-answer lessons, so dyslexic kids can learn math, science, and social studies at their real level — not their reading level.

For a dyslexic child, that means every subject — even ones they'd otherwise be great at, like science or history — gets bottlenecked by decoding difficulty. A kid who can reason through a two-step word problem in their head might stall out just trying to read it. Over time, that mismatch between ability and access can chip away at a child's confidence far more than the dyslexia itself does.
A character guide reads every instruction, every question, and every answer choice out loud. Kids listen and think about the actual content — math, science, geography — instead of spending their mental energy decoding text first.
Kids answer by tapping a picture or a short on-screen choice — never by typing a response or reading a passage unassisted to move forward. This holds true across every subject, not just reading lessons.
Because Lumi doesn't gate science, math, or social studies behind independent reading, a dyslexic 4th grader can work through 4th-grade science and math content instead of being quietly routed into "easier" material because a worksheet was too hard to read.
Lessons aren't timed and there's no penalty for replaying audio or slowing down. A dyslexic child can hear a question again as many times as they need without a parent having to re-read it aloud themselves.
A typical Lumi session rotates through subjects automatically. A dyslexic child opens the app, picks a character companion, and works through a math lesson, a science lesson, and a social studies lesson — all narrated, all tap-based. Reading and phonics lessons are still part of the rotation (dyslexic kids do need reading instruction), but they're one subject among many, not the gatekeeper for every other subject. Many parents report this is the first time their dyslexic child has been able to work through a full curriculum independently, without a parent sitting next to them reading every line aloud.
Full K–8 curriculum. Every subject narrated aloud. Works on any device.
