Reading aloud fosters language development, imagination, and closeness.
Yet many adults read aloud too infrequently or not at all.
Bookplay is a free app that creates new incentives to read aloud to children regularly
and makes reading time measurable.
The app automatically detects when someone is reading aloud and rewards this time with points.
This is how Bookplay helps you start reading aloud or gradually expand your practice.
You can read from a book or an eReader.
Bookplay doesn't display any text and doesn't distract from the reading.
The app simply tracks the reading time.
