The world's first Listening Bookshop
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.
Young Authors' Competition 2020
Calling all storytellers. Now’s your chance to share your words with the world.
Our Young Authors’ Competition has launched. We’re looking for stories of up to 600 or 900 words, depending on age.
Four leading authors of children’s fiction will judge the stories from each age group: Clare Balding, Francesca Simon, Greg James and Chris Smith.
We’ll illustrate and publish the lucky winners’ stories on Fonetti and they’ll also receive a signed book from the judges. One overall winner will also receive a printed copy of their book and a framed copy of their front cover.
Please send your entries in before midnight on Friday July 31, 2020.
Happy writing and good luck.
