BuddyBooks
Your children will read longer.
Your children will read better.
Help them discover the joy of reading!
Active Independent
Practice
Our BuddyReading™ method has your children read with a computer partner, similar to reading with you, alternating turns between passages. This helps your children feel comfortable practicing, and improves their self-confidence.
BuddyBooks engages your children using a multisensory reading approach, employing both traditional reading modalities, listening and reading.
Engaging and Enjoyable
BuddyBooks breaks the reading down into separated passages, which reduces reader fatigue and improves comprehension. Buddy Reading requires less cognitive load, so your children can read books at their interest level.
When a book matches your children's interests, they spend more time reading. And that improves their reading skills.
Gives you peace of mind
You pick books and monitor your children's reading practice through the Parent Dashboard.
Our web-dashboard allows you to easily monitor your children's reading practice. BuddyBooks provides you with valuable data, such as your children's reading duration, and reading fluency, all from their independent reading practice.
Buddy-Reading™
Your children actively participate as they independently read with "Buddy"
Your child and the computer alternate reading sentences from a book you picked for them. They read when its their turn and listen when it's the computer's turn. Your child is engaged as they read, enjoying the story.
“It's not about learning to read. It's about practicing to read better.”
Amy, mom of an 8 year old.
Easier to read passages
Your kids will begin reading at their interest level, not just their reading level
BuddyBooks transforms dense, long paragraphs into easier-to-comprehend passages that are shared between each child and Buddy.
“BuddyBooks is like having a second set of ears for listening to my kids read out loud.”
Frances, mom of 4 children
Parent Dashboard
BuddyBooks tells you how long, and how well, your children are reading
BuddyBooks' technology listens to your children's oral reading and shows you how much time your children are reading, if the book is too easy or too hard, and where your children need your help.
“My kids like audiobooks. But they are listening, not reading.”
Jenni, mom of 2 children
What are kids reading with BuddyBooks?
BuddyBooks has selections for every age.
If your child has a reading disability like dyslexia, you can select from over 1 million fiction and non-fiction books in the Bookshare library.
“Before when using BuddyBooks, I had a tendency to add words. Now it corrects me when I add words, and that helps me get better.
Hannah, 11 year old

BuddyBooks helps your children correct mistakes
Each day when your children read with BuddyBooks, we have them review a passage that they struggled with. Children will hear their mistakes, hear the correct reading modeled for them, and will have an opportunity to self correct.
