User testing results
- Users appreciate illustrations focused on adults, not so much on children.
- Users think is good the use of colors, and they can have a good reference for the lesson they are studying.
- Users want more audio and word sounds they want to practice by repetition.

After usability studies
Based on the insights from the usability studies, I applied design changes such as clear sections of the home screen to easily display vowels, alphabet, andnumbers sections.

What I learned
I learned that designing an app to start learning to read for adults is complex because you have to think about how to guide people beginning and keep them interested in moving forward. Simples details are so important.
