Fun, Interactive, Reading Practise
Fonetti is the interactive reading app that listens to children as they read aloud, and holds their attention by changing the word colour in real-time as they read along.
It makes reading fun and gives grown-ups reassurance that they are providing safe screen time; and gives kids self-confidence and a solid foundation for life-long learning.
How the Fonetti app works
We’ve created a new, refreshing alternative in the world of reading, Listening Books™.
When children read Fonetti Listening Books™ out loud, our patented speech recognition engine recognises what they’ve said and whether it matches the story. When they say the words right, the words turn green and if not, they turn grey. If a child is stuck, they can simply double tap for a clue.
