02
Turn the page
Choose from automated page turn detection, voice control, or manual scanning.

Listen
Listen and follow the narration together at your own pace.
Benefits for young readers
Open a book. Hear the story. Follow along.
BookSprite gives children more opportunities to spend time with physical books, whether they are reading with an adult or exploring a story on their own.
- Hear richer language. Stories give children more opportunities to hear the varied words and sentence structures found in books.
- Enjoy books independently. Children can listen and turn the pages when an adult is not available to read aloud.
- Access every story. Narration helps children who are still learning to read, or who find printed words difficult to decode, follow along.
