About Once
Once is an early-literacy programme that helps schools and families create confident, successful readers through daily, one-to-one reading instruction. The product pairs a structured science-of-reading curriculum (phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, fluency, comprehension) with live, expert coaches who deliver short daily sessions to children aged 3-7. Parents and teachers get a simple dashboard showing each child's progress, recommended next lessons, and coach notes, plus a free reading check that pinpoints where a child is struggling. The model is designed for both at-home families and school partnerships, with cohort-based pricing for districts and a direct-to-consumer subscription for parents.
