Your kid finishes a book. ReadHatch quizzes them on it. If they actually read it, they earn points and eventually hatch a pet. You can see all of it from your phone.
What is ReadHatch?
ReadHatch is an iOS app that gives kids a 10-question comprehension quiz on any book they've finished reading. The quiz is AI-generated from the specific book — not a generic reading-comp template — and matched to the reader's age. Kids pass a quiz (7 out of 10 correct), earn points, and unlock one of 10 collectible hatchling pets. Parents manage everything; children never create an account. Free for 3 quizzes a month, or $4.99/mo (or $39/year) for unlimited.
How does ReadHatch work?
- 1. A parent creates a reader profile. Just a first name and age — no child login, no child email, no data leaving the household for marketing.
- 2. Your kid finishes a book. Any book. Search the title in the app; ReadHatch pulls from ~30 million titles via Open Library.
- 3. They take a 10-question quiz.Multiple choice. Questions cover inference, theme, vocabulary, and specific plot details — not just recall. Difficulty is scaled to the reader's age.
- 4. Pass (70%) and earn points. Retakes are allowed, but points only count on the first passing attempt. Miss a day and the streak resets.
- 5. Hatch a pet at each milestone. Ten pets in total. The 10th is a genuine trophy — hard to earn, easy to brag about.
Who is ReadHatch for?
Think of ReadHatch as Accelerated Reader at home for any parent who wants to know their kid actually read the book. That includes families whose school doesn't run AR, kids reading outside the school AR list, summer reading, homeschool families, and any parent with a reader ages roughly 6–12 who could use a reason to keep going. If your kid finishes books and you have no idea whether they read them, that's exactly what this solves.

What it actually does
Made for the kid who closes the book and you have absolutely no idea whether they read it or skimmed the back cover. And for the parent who’d rather look at a quiz score than ask "so what was it about?" again.
Ten questions, written from the book
Not generic reading-comp prompts. Your kid has to remember what happened in the actual story.
Points and streaks
Pass a quiz, get points. Skip a day, lose the streak. It works the same way the language apps work — which is to say, it works.
Ten pets
One per milestone. The last one is genuinely hard to get to.
Any book with a title
School assignment, library pickup, the random one Grandma mailed last week — if Open Library has it, ReadHatch has it. About 30 million books.
A parent dashboard that’s actually useful
You can see which books, how the quizzes went, and whether the weekly goal is happening. That’s it.
No kid account
You sign in. You enter their first name and age. There is nothing else. No child login, no child email, no data going anywhere it shouldn’t.
Three steps to hatched
Search the book
Type the title. We’ll find it.
Answer ten questions
Multiple choice. Roughly matched to your reader’s age. Takes a minute.
Hatch something
Seven right is a pass. The streak holds, the points add up, and a new pet shows up eventually.
$0 or $4.99
Three quizzes a month, free. If your kid likes it they’ll blow through that in a weekend, and Pro is $4.99 a month.

Questions parents ask
What is ReadHatch?
ReadHatch is an iOS app that gives kids a 10-question AI-generated comprehension quiz on any book they've finished reading. Kids pass a quiz (7 out of 10 correct), earn points, and unlock one of 10 collectible reading pets. Parents manage everything through a dashboard — children never create an account.
How does ReadHatch work?
A parent creates a reader profile with just a first name and age. When a child finishes a book, they search for the title in the app and take a 10-question multiple-choice quiz. Questions are AI-generated from the specific book and scaled to the reader's age. Passing (7 of 10) earns points; every points milestone hatches one of 10 collectible pets.
Who is ReadHatch for?
Any parent who wants proof their kid actually read the book. That includes families whose school doesn't run Accelerated Reader, kids reading outside the school AR list, summer reading, homeschool families, and any child roughly ages 6–12 who reads real books. ReadHatch is essentially Accelerated Reader for use at home.
How much does ReadHatch cost?
ReadHatch has a free tier with 3 quizzes per month and one reader profile. Pro is $4.99 per month or $39 per year (a 35% discount on the annual plan) and includes unlimited quizzes, multiple reader profiles, and weekly reading goals.
Is ReadHatch safe for kids?
Yes. ReadHatch is COPPA-friendly by design. Children do not create accounts or log in — parents sign in and manage everything. Reader profiles contain only a first name and age, used solely to personalize quiz difficulty, and are never shared with third parties for marketing.
What devices does ReadHatch work on?
ReadHatch is available on iOS through the Apple App Store.
How does ReadHatch generate quiz questions?
ReadHatch uses AI to generate 10 age-appropriate multiple-choice comprehension questions for any book. Questions focus on real understanding — inference, theme, vocabulary, and details — not just memorization.
How many reading pets can my child collect?
There are 10 unique reading pets to collect. Each is unlocked by reaching a points milestone, which kids earn by passing quizzes on books they've read.
How is ReadHatch different from Accelerated Reader?
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a school-purchased program that generates quizzes for a fixed catalog of books, and access typically requires a school license. ReadHatch is a parent-facing subscription app that generates quizzes on the fly for any book in Open Library's ~30 million title catalog, works outside of school, and doesn't require a school account.
