Practice reading aloud

Pick a short passage — or type your own — then press Start and read it out loud. bucoo lights up each word, sounds out the tricky ones in a real child's voice, and only steps in when it's needed. You can also tap any word to hear it sounded out.

Short passages built from sounds a beginning reader can decode — no guessing needed.

Tap any word to hear it sounded out. bucoo only steps in when you need help.
Reading along needs the microphone (works best in Chrome or Edge on a computer). You can still tap words to sound them out.
