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 is an important part of a child’s development, as it helps to foster improved comprehension and reading accuracy. It has been shown that when children read aloud they can develop better retention of what they have read, allowing them to access information more effectively. Furthermore, engaging in this activity allows children to practise their pronunciation and intonation which is beneficial for speaking abilities in other areas of life. Therefore, encouraging your child to read aloud independently can have a very positive impact on their overall development.
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.
Books to encourage a love for reading
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, Constructive 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 encourage and motivate
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.
