App for reading, say, in school (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

program

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'app' is the definition.

'for reading say in school' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (as in being 'pro' something).
'reading say' becomes 'r' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'school' becomes 'gam' (I've seen this before).
'r' inserted inside 'gam' is 'gram'.
'pro'+'gram'='PROGRAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for program that I've seen before include "Mechanical actions to be performed" , "Code" , "Enabling instructions for computer" , "Course" , "Instructions for PC, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
