BookVoyager is an interactive reading platform built for children in multilingual classrooms, especially kids in Grades 2 to 5 who are learning English as a second language. Children can read colorful storybooks on any device, with the text read aloud in a karaoke-style experience where words light up as they are spoken. If a child's home language is Punjabi, Hindi, Somali, Pashto, or one of many others, BookVoyager can show the text and play audio in that language too, so every kid can follow along and never feel left out.
