    Get a free Lite license for Pictures Are For Babies

    The Lite license provides access to a limited set of courses for evaluation and personal use. The Lite license does not expire so that you can try the software at your own leisure. The Lite license is offered for free with an optional suggested donation of $20 and the option to set your own price.

    The content available under the Lite license is limited to the symbol courses, and the first few word and sentence courses. It teaches students the following:

    • Recognizing and writing all letters of the alphabet, both uppercase and lowercase, and
      punctuation marks.
    • Reading and writing many one-syllable words.
    • Reading and writing complete sentences that use those words.

    Overall, the Lite version includes 200 lessons. However, the real value of the Lite version of Pictures Are For Babies is not in teaching to fluently read and write a few hundred words, but in being a complete and professional-level tool for early detection, prevention, and remediation of reading difficulties. For a full overview of how the Lite version accomplishes this and how it can be used in Pre-K to K-2 classrooms, see the Lite version guide in the manual.

    Buy a Full license for Pictures Are For Babies

    There are two options to buy a Full license:

    • A monthly subscription grants access to all features, content, and updates for the duration of the active subscription. The monthly subscription is priced at $20 USD per month and is billed automatically until canceled. It entitles you to all software and content updates during the subscription period.
    • A lifetime license grants perpetual access to all current and future content and updates for the lifetime of the product. The lifetime license is priced at $1000 USD and is a one-time payment. It entitles you to all future software and content updates.

    The licenses only make one seat available per purchase. That is, only one student (or group of students) can use the license at a time. However, that same license works across devices, such as in cases where students practice at home and school on different computers. At this time, there are no plans for multi-seat licenses, but that might change in the future after processing user feedback.

    These prices do not include sales or VAT taxes. Because of the many variables involved in international sales, the final price may vary based on your location and applicable tax laws. Even with taxes applied, the monthly cost of Pictures Are For Babies is still lower than the cost of an hour of tutoring by a reading specialist.

    The links above will open a checkout overlay from which you can buy a Full or Lite license. If there are any issues with the overlays, you can also make your purchase at the official store.

    After getting either the Full or Lite license, users will receive an email with their license key and further instructions on how to install and activate the software.
