Description

Bookbot is a book-reading app for practising readers. Use this kids’ learning app to access a virtual reading assistant that listens to your child read aloud, providing help as they progress. Also included in the app is a library of specially written books that will guide your child through their very own reading journey.

Bookbot is an English learning app with a difference: it listens to your child as they learn to read, highlighting the words and stopping when they make a mistake. Readers can either try again to read the word correctly or listen to it being read by Bookbot before continuing.

Bookbot has been developed by a team passionate about creating the best ‘learn-to-read’ app, based on scientifically proven techniques. Using a phonics approach endorsed by numerous reading experts, Bookbot will develop your child’s reading confidence at their own pace. Bookbot was inspired by children who need a dyslexia app, but it works for everyone.

Features

1. ‘Just right’ reading levels – Individually selected books based on your child’s current reading ability – your child can enjoy success whilst stretching them just enough.
2. Guided progress – The line your child is reading is highlighted as they speak, encouraging focus and fluency. It’s like having your finger following their reading.
3. Immediate feedback – Words are de-emphasised as your child reads them correctly; they gain an instant sense of confidence and achievement.
4. No more guessing – Words that are incorrectly read are identified and spoken by Bookbot before your child can continue reading.
5. Easy on the eye – specially chosen fonts, careful use of spacing and page colours all make the reading experience as easy as possible.
