The only way to become a confident reader, is to read.

Once children move beyond decoding and comprehension, many stall at the next critical stage: practice.

Fonetti creates a safe, supportive space where children can build their ‘Reading Miles’ practicing independently, without pressure or judgement.

Like a fitness tracker for reading, Fonetti encourages, measures and celebrates progress, helping every child build fluency, confidence, and a stronger voice. Our patented voice recognition technology is designed to help schools and parents support children in their learning confidence, not to replace traditional one-to-one guided reading.

We’re often asked

How does Fonetti help with English as an additional language?

Fonetti helps children learn English by encouraging them to read aloud regularly in a safe, supportive environment. It listens in real time and provides gentle feedback on pronunciation and fluency, helping children build confidence in speaking and understanding English through consistent practice.

How does Fonetti improve English pronunciation and fluency?

Fonetti uses speech recognition technology to listen as children read aloud and respond instantly. This helps children refine pronunciation, develop clearer speech and improve fluency over time through repetition, feedback and regular reading practice.

How does Fonetti support teachers working with EAL learners?

Fonetti tracks each child’s progress in reading fluency, confidence, and engagement, giving teachers clear insights into language development. This allows teachers to identify where support is needed and tailor instruction more effectively for EAL learners.

Is Fonetti suitable for children who are new to English?

Yes. Fonetti is designed to support children at all stages of English language learning, including beginners. Children can practice at their own pace, repeat texts as needed, and build familiarity with English sounds, words and sentence structures without pressure or embarrassment.

Can children use Fonetti independently at home?

Yes. Fonetti is designed for independent use, making it ideal for children who may not have fluent English support at home. It provides guidance, encouragement, and structure so children can continue building their English skills outside the classroom.

How often should EAL learners use Fonetti to see progress?

Just 10 minutes of daily reading practice with Fonetti can lead to noticeable improvements in English fluency and confidence. We would recommend regular, short sessions of 30 minutes to help children build their ‘Reading Miles’, reinforcing vocabulary, pronunciation, and comprehension over time.
