Fonetti actively listens to children as they read aloud and holds their attention by turning the words green in real-time when they get them right. This interactive experience motivates the child to read more and then rewards them with fun animations, fanfares and badges.

Books in the Listening Bookshop will actually listen to the child as they read aloud, highlighting words in green when they get them right and greying them out when they miss a word or get it wrong.
Fonetti uses an encouraging feedback process that enables children to improve their reading skills and creates the desire to read more with animated fanfares and by awarding stars and badges.
A unique and extensive library of well-illustrated children's books that are proven to be entertaining, educational and fun which captures the child’s attention and leaves them wanting to read more.
With Fonetti, words on screen light up green when correctly read aloud.
If you would like to try it, you can speak into your mic from your phone, tablet or computer and see it happen in real-time!
With The Listening Bookshop, parents no longer have to choose between story time or tablet time – they’ve got both, all in one easy-to-use app.
In the classroom, The Listening Bookshop gives children the chance to read independently whilst still getting the support they need, enabling teachers to use their limited time to reach each pupil more effectively.
“Fonetti is such a simple concept and a brilliant use of technology to support children, make them feel more confident reading and allow parents to monitor their progress”- Clare Balding MBE, Children's Book Author, TV Presenter
“It is really good for children who don’t really like reading in front of others, especially if they’ve got a confidence issue”- Karena Cubillo, Primary School Teacher
“I can't say that anything is the best because everything is amazing in Fonetti”- Ollie, Aged 9
“The fact it lights up as they go along, even that is an achievement to them because they’ve made it light up. With a standard book, you don’t have anything as rewarding as that”- Victoria Edgar, Parent
“I love reading with Fonetti because it makes me feel brave!”- Cole, Aged 7
“Fonetti is the best app because I can choose my own character and my own books. The thing that I like about Fonetti is that words turn green and it is the best”- Nitya, Aged 7
“When my son Giovani first used the Fonetti app, I noticed how much more confident, and in control he was about sounding out the words. As a parent you always want to support your child the best way you can. Thank you Fonetti for adding value to our reading time.”- Louise Power, Mum to Giovani
Fonetti has won the approval of the Department of Education as part of the Hungry Little Minds Campaign which was announced in a press release by Gavin Williamson MP in February 2020.
