Read Along — tap any word, hear it read aloud

Read Along is now live — a library of texts many Indian kids already know by heart, set up so they can learn to read them.

The mechanic is simple: tap any word and the device reads it aloud. Stuck on one word in a line? Tap just that word. Want the whole line? Tap along. The child sets the pace, not a timer.

What's in the library at launch:

  • Hanuman Chalisa — all 40 verses, plus the opening and closing dohas
  • Aartis and daily shlokas — Om Jai Jagdish Hare, Jai Ganesh, Gayatri Mantra, Saraswati Vandana
  • Hindi and English rhymes — Machhli Jal Ki Rani, Twinkle Twinkle, Wheels on the Bus
  • Panchatantra stories in both Hindi and English

A deliberate choice: Read Along is reading practice, not a game. There are no scores, no stars, no streaks. Familiar text is the hook — when a child already knows the words by sound, matching them to print is the whole exercise.

This replaces the old Reading game; old links redirect here. Like everything on epotli: free, no ads, no sign-up.
