On the Fonetti app, children read aloud. When they pronounce words correctly, they turn green.
Words that are misread or skipped subtly fade to grey. If they encounter difficulty, a simple double tap provides an audible clue.

Why Fonetti?
Reading aloud is a valuable skill all children benefit from however it is something that makes a lot of children (and adults!) feel anxious. At Fonetti, our aim is to make all children independent and confident readers so they have the opportunity to succeed in all areas of their life.
Reading aloud independently enhances a child's development by improving comprehension, retention, and speaking abilities. Encouraging this practice can positively impact their overall growth.
Not just another ebook reader
Fonetti is not just another ebook reader. It’s part of a reading revolution. It’s designed to engage a new generation of tech-savvy children who are used to real-time interactions, validation and engagement.
Recognises all accents
Fonetti’s inclusive technology recognises complex reading patterns and understands multiple accents groups, including those where English is an additional language.
Extensive library
With an ever-growing library of content which includes fiction, non-fiction and curriculum-supporting content that’s suitable for different ages and abilities, Fonetti sparks, develops and reinforces a love of reading in both reluctant and more confident readers.
Instant Feedback
Children will read aloud the words in a book from the in-app library.
When they read the words correctly, they will turn green. If the child skips or misreads a word, the word will turn grey. When a word turns grey, they can double tap the word and Fonetti will read the word to them.
Friendly Reporting to Support and Encourage
When the child completes a book, they are congratulated and given a percentage score for accuracy, which they can compare with their previous accuracy scores and reading duration for the other books they’ve read, encouraging them to want to improve and read more.
Fonetti is proud to have founded the National Read Aloud Challenge.
A FREE annual event to help prevent reading regression over the summer period.
