Read The Villes on Fonetti
It’s the World’s first listening bookshop, where shelves of stories are waiting with the swipe of a screen. Fonetti listens and rewards as children read. When they get the words right, they turn green, if they get stuck, the simply double tap for a clue.
It perfects their pronunciation, boosts their literacy and builds their confidence with every page they turn.
Approved by the Department of Eduction’s Hungry Little Minds Campaign as a platform to practise reading on; Fonetti is changing the way children read globally.
