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
- ‘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.
- 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.
- Immediate feedback – Words are de-emphasised as your child reads them correctly; they gain an instant sense of confidence and achievement.
- No more guessing – Words that are incorrectly read are identified and spoken by Bookbot before your child can continue reading.
- Easy on the eye – specially chosen fonts, careful use of spacing and page colours all make the reading experience as easy as possible.

I teach and tutor ESL learners, and I have found this to be an excellent tool for reading practice. For any reader with extra challenges, being able to have a book be a personal and private experience is rare. The system gives them guidance and structure while still allowing them to be independent. I look forward to more titles being available as I think the app has a lot of potential.

Even though we still do reading practice with our son, we like to encourage him to read by himself. After a few practice runs we found Bookbot gives him that independence. We would like to see more books in the library, but this is a good start.

I love that BookBot uses voice recogniztion to supervise a kid’s reading because supervised reading is still really the only way to help kids improve their reading deficit, and we just don’t have the resources to have a 1:1 relationship between kid and supervisor often enough to make good progress. BookBot can really help.

My 5yo son has learnt so much from practicing reading on this app. It is engaging, and interesting, and it made him interested enough to continue reading more and more and increase his level.

Great for kids who are slower to learn to read. Only issue is it’s slow to recognise the voice which frustrates my children. Need to be able to resync the voice maybe to make sure it’s hearing correctly. Have same issue on phone and tablet.

My daughter loves reading the books from this app. She learns new words every day and has captured her interest and love for reading. Highly recommend this app to supplement reading time as well as learning English.
