A pediatrician-developed, play-based check-in for ages 3–9 — built by Dr. Gunduz to spot the early foundations of speech, language, and learning, and to build them before a struggle ever begins.
This private demo shows how a developmental/literacy screening workflow could be presented as a story-based child experience. The child plays; the tools do the measuring; the pediatrician gets a clear picture — all without the white-coat anxiety of a clipboard test.
Echo the Owl guides each child through bite-size games — popping sounds, racing down Rhyme River, reading through the Word Woods. Most quests take a few minutes and feel nothing like a test.
Behind the play, each quest measures a research-backed building block of reading — accuracy, speed, and working memory — and displays a sample age-banded score for demo purposes only.
Scores flow straight to the physician console — scorecards, a sample risk-style dashboard, and plain-language flags — so a conversation about support can start early, not after a child falls behind.
Reading is built on sound long before it's built on letters. SoundWiseRx screens the five early speech-and-language signals that research links most strongly to later reading.
Hearing and playing with the sounds inside words — like blending /m/–/a/–/p/ into “map.”
Naming familiar colors, objects, and letters quickly — a strong early predictor of reading fluency.
Knowing which sound a letter makes — and which letter makes a sound. The bridge to decoding.
Sounding out real and made-up words. Nonsense words reveal true decoding, not memorized sight words.
Holding sounds in mind and playing them back — repeating a sequence the owl hoots out loud.
Six developmental domains exist in the broader SoundWiseRx framework; this demo focuses on the sound-skills that predict reading.
Make sure their foundations — speech, language, fine motor — are strong.
Get to know how your child grows and learns.
Every parent wants to know their child is building the right foundations — speech, language, fine motor, and the early skills that set them up to thrive. Through guided play, SoundWise Rx spots early signs of developmental delay and picks up on subtle speech and language patterns — like trouble catching every word or following directions in real time — that can quietly make reading and classroom work harder down the road. Caught early, these are simply skills to build, not problems to fear. Nothing here labels your child. You leave with a clear picture of their strengths and a personalized plan to start building right away — long before frustration ever has a chance to take hold.
Start the play session →Familiar signals, surfaced early and routed straight to a plan.
Catch the signal early, at the point of care.
SoundWise Rx surfaces early markers of developmental delay alongside the speech and language patterns that research links to later reading difficulty. This is familiar clinical territory: the same early speech-and-language signals you already refer and treat are the strongest early predictors of reading struggles, years before a classroom ever flags them. The play-based format keeps children engaged while structured tasks map performance across core developmental domains, giving you a defensible strengths-and-needs profile rather than a single score. Every result routes to matched intervention pathways — so screening hands you and the family a plan, not just a finding.
Begin clinical assessment →Know which building blocks are mastered, and which need repetition.
See how each learner thinks — before the gaps show.
SoundWise Rx shows you exactly where a child is on the building blocks reading depends on — letter sounds, matching sounds to letter names, rhyming, and hearing language clearly. Instead of a pass/fail snapshot, it tells you which skills a child has truly mastered and which ones still need repetition, so you can build rather than move on. Some children lock in these foundations in three months; others need closer to nine — and both are normal. You get the clarity to give each child the time they need on the basics before the next lesson, plus classroom-ready next steps and a shared picture you can bring to families.
Explore the learner profile →SoundWiseRx was created by founder Dr. Gunduz and built on the research that links early sound-skills to later reading — grounded in pediatric practice, not gamified guesswork.
A child's play stays between the family and their care team. Results are scoped to the child and shared only with the pediatric office screening them — designed for a HIPAA-adjacent, access-logged path to a real backend.
We believe the future of education is proactive. Screening early means a hard conversation can happen years before a struggle does — when support works best.
A signal, not a sentence — and a screen, not a diagnosis. SoundWiseRx flags early developmental and reading-readiness risk to help families and pediatricians decide when to look closer. It does not diagnose any condition, and it does not replace a full evaluation by a qualified professional. Always discuss results with your child's clinician.
“A child shouldn't have to fall behind before we notice. Play is how kids show us what they can do — so we let them play, and we listen.”
