BookEvery book here
reads itself aloud.
Leveled picture books, guided reading A–Z, narrated with every word lighting up as it’s read — so a child can follow along long before they can read alone.
Browsing is free · 7-day trial to read aloud · no card neededThis is the whole idea.
The book speaks, and the word being spoken lights up — not the line, the word. A child who can't yet decode still knows exactly where they are on the page, and hears how each shape sounds at the moment they're looking at it.
A real page from How the Moon Changes Shape, level D.
Full narration, every word lit, pages turning themselves.
Nobody learns to read by being tested.
They learn by hearing the words and seeing them at the same moment, again and again, until the sound and the shape lock together. That is the whole idea behind this library — and it is why the support changes as a reader grows instead of staying the same.
First, they listen.
A child who can’t read yet isn’t behind — they simply haven’t heard the words and seen them at the same time. In Read to me the book narrates itself and lights each word as it goes, so the page stops being decoration and starts being language.
Then they follow.
The highlight is doing something specific: it teaches the eye where to look, and ties the sound to the shape at the exact moment it’s spoken. For a reader who keeps losing their place, this single thing is the biggest help there is — and it’s on in every book, for every child, with nobody singled out.
Then they echo.
Read with me runs the classic guided-reading pattern without a grown-up needing to sit there: the book reads one sentence, the child says it back, a tap moves on. Re-reading the same favourite for the eleventh night is not a rut — it’s the mechanism by which fluency is built.
Then they read.
In By myself the support goes quiet but doesn’t leave. They read; when a word stops them, one tap sounds it out in the same voice that read the story, and they carry on. Nothing is timed and no score is shown to the child — the only thing being measured is whether they want to come back tomorrow.
Then they make it theirs.
Reading a word is only half of it — writing it back is the other half. Spell-Along takes words from the book they’ve just read and rebuilds them sound by sound, so a digraph like “sh” is one box and a silent e is its own quiet square. A short comprehension check asks what actually happened, with retries, so a wrong turn teaches rather than scores.
A book here does more than turn pages.
Reading it is the start. What surrounds it is built from the same story, so nothing a child practises is disconnected from what they just read.
Reading a word is half of it. Writing it back is the other half.
Words come out of the book a child has just read and get rebuilt sound by sound — so the boxes follow sounds, not letters. In sky, “sk” is one box because it's one sound, and “y” is the box doing the /ī/ job. Tap hear it and the word plays in the same voice that read the story.
from Clever Crows: What Scientists DiscoveredNon-fiction, stories, poetry, science — all of it leveled.
Every title is written for a reading level and an interest age separately, so a child never has to choose between a book they can read and a book they want to read.
Built for the child who finds reading hard.
Racing ahead, dragging their feet, or unable to sit still for five minutes — the same library works for all three, because the supports are always on. No labels, no separate “special” mode, no child singled out.
Climb as fast as they like — then prove it. Quizzes, spelling and word meanings all drawn from the book they just finished, so being quick never means running out of things to do.
Hear every word while they see it. Nothing is timed, no score is shown to the child, and any book can be read again as many times as it takes.
Short books with the finish line in sight, one page at a time, and something to do every few seconds — so a wandering attention has somewhere to land.
Designed with distractible and dyslexic readers in mind — and switched on for everybody, because a clear page and a steady voice help every child learning to read.
One library. Three ways in.
Roster your teachers, give every classroom the same library, and see reading growth across the school. Student records stay inside your school.
How it works for schools →Assign by level in a couple of taps, listen back to recorded readings, and see who is stuck before the report card — without photocopying a single page.
Start a classroom →A leveled reading room at home. Each child gets their own shelf, their own level and their own progress, so siblings at different stages aren’t sharing one account.
How it works at home →Before you start.
Roughly ages 3 to 11. A pre-reader listens in “Read to me” while every word lights up; a fluent reader reads by themselves with help on any word they get stuck on. The same library covers both.
More in the reading guides — levels explained, what's typical at each age, and what actually helps at home.
