Footsteps2Brilliance
A bilingual English and Spanish early literacy app, MyF2B, with interactive ebooks, songs, phonics games and writing tools from birth through 3rd grade. Families get it free when their school district or community partners with the company.
What is Footsteps2Brilliance?
Footsteps2Brilliance is a bilingual early literacy program from Footsteps2Brilliance, Inc. Families use it through the MyF2B app. All of the content is in English and Spanish, and children can switch languages to read the same book both ways. The company says its curriculum is grounded in the science of reading and is designed to work alongside a school's core reading program.
The company mostly sells to school districts, county education offices and whole communities. Those partners then give families free access at home.
How it works
Children log in to MyF2B on a phone, tablet or computer and pick from thousands of activities. These include interactive ebooks, songs, phonics games, puzzles and art. A big part of the app is creating, not just tapping. Kids can draw, write and record their own voices, which helps them practice speaking and early writing.
Parents and teachers can see progress reports. In a classroom, teachers use quick assessments and assign activities. At home, a family might read a book together in Spanish, then let the child replay it in English or record themselves reading.
What it covers
| Strand | Ages or grades | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Birth to 48 months | Babies to age 4 | Books, songs and early brain development |
| Kindergarten readiness | Pre-K and TK | Language, literacy, early math and science |
| Foundational literacy | K–1 | Phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency |
| Reading comprehension | Grades 1–3 | Comprehension, writing, vocabulary, subject knowledge |
| Financial literacy | Grades 4–8 | Money skills and career awareness |
The company doesn't publish a detailed lesson-by-lesson scope for parents.
Who it's best for
Footsteps2Brilliance is a great fit for bilingual and Spanish-speaking families whose district already offers it. It's also strong for babies through kindergartners, an age many reading apps skip. Browse more early learning programs and reading apps.
It's not an option if your area doesn't have a partner, since there's no way to buy it yourself. Homeschool families who want a full reading curriculum should look at phonics programs they can buy directly.
Pricing at a glance
As of October 2026, families can't buy it. It's free for families when a partner district or organization provides access. Enter your zip code on the MyF2B family registration page to check. Schools and communities contact the company for pricing.
Can a scholarship or ESA pay for it?
Usually not, because it isn't sold to families. If you have ESA or scholarship funds, you can spend them on a reading program you can buy. Each program decides what's allowed. Start with our scholarships page, or see Arizona ESA and Florida's scholarships. Save the products you like to your wishlist and apply once on Edulist.

If you can't get Footsteps2Brilliance, Starfall offers a free tier and a low-cost home membership for pre-K to 3rd grade. Duolingo ABC and Teach Your Monster to Read are free phonics apps. Reading Eggs is a paid, more complete program. For books in a library format, Epic has a large digital collection, including Spanish titles.
