Reading Mountain is a systematic, multisensory structured-literacy program based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. It is designed for early and struggling readers, including people with dyslexia, from children through adults. Lessons combine reading and spelling tiles, words, sentences, writing, decodable books and games. Students read at least one decodable book per lesson, with AI support and comprehension questions. Speech detection flags sounds and words a learner may find difficult; AI also provides reading-pattern insights and book-reading accuracy scores. A portal for parents and instructors offers progress reports and printable customized worksheets after lessons. Levels 1 to 3 are available now; Levels 4 and 5 are in development, and Levels 6 to 16 are planned by the end of 2026. There is no placement assessment yet, and the company recommends starting at Level 1, Lesson 1. The separate free Basecamp app provides sound-segmenting, sound-isolation, blending and sound-swapping activities. Reading Mountain works on Apple and Android phones and tablets, as well as computers in a browser. Individual costs 29.00 USD per month for one student; Family costs 49.00 USD per month for up to four students. A free plan and free trial are also listed.
