About Reading Doctor
Reading Doctor is a patent-pending literacy platform developed in South Australia by Dr Bartek Rajkowski, a leading speech-language pathologist and reading development expert. It teaches recognition of over 100 spellings of the 44 English phonemes through a multi-sensory approach. The app strengthens crucial skills including phonemic awareness, letter-sound knowledge, blending, segmentation, decoding, and sight word recognition — all grounded in the Science of Reading approach that Australian schools are increasingly adopting. With thousands of words, sentences, images, and audio recordings, Reading Doctor can be customised to complement your existing school phonics programme.
