Abound Parenting is an iPhone app developed by The Parent Uptake Project Inc. It is a free educational and reference program designed to help parents and caregivers of children aged 3 to 9 years old in fostering reading success. The app provides valuable insights and tools to support children's reading development.

With Abound, parents can assess their child's reading progress through a simple, research-based "check-in" that compares their child's reading skills against age-appropriate benchmarks. The app also offers daily questions created by experts to encourage engaging and fun conversations with children, helping to build their knowledge and critical thinking skills.

In addition, Abound provides a weekly academic word list, which includes critical vocabulary that children need to know for school success. The app also offers carefully curated book recommendations tailored to each child's stage of development, along with suggested questions and vocabulary to enhance their understanding and perspective.

Abound understands that children learn best through repeated exposure and gradual knowledge building, but acknowledges that parents may struggle to organize such experiences. Therefore, the app follows a two-week themed structure, providing quick and regular conversations that can easily fit into busy schedules without relying on screens. By motivating parents to talk with their children in a way that stimulates their brain, Abound sets children up for reading success in the future.

Abound Parenting goes beyond helping parents understand what it takes for their child to read well. It also fosters meaningful connections between parents and children, allowing them to bond and engage in satisfying conversations.
