Google has released a browser version of its \u201cRead Along\u201d Android app. The website, while still in beta, is up and running now<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The site includes hundreds of illustrated stories at a few different reading levels. Once kids select a story, they start reading into their device\u2019s microphone. Words are highlighted in blue after they\u2019ve read them, and mispronounced words are underlined in red; click an underlined word, and a virtual assistant, Diya, will pronounce it for you. <\/p>\n

There may be math involved in some of these stories, just as a warning.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Supported browsers include Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, while others (including Safari) are coming soon, Google says. Stories are available in English, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Spanish, and Portuguese. <\/p>\n

Stories are grouped by topic and level.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Google has also added new stories to Read Along\u2019s collection, which will be available later this year in both the web and Android versions. These include adaptations of content from children\u2019s video creators USP Studios and ChuChu TV, as well as alphabet and phonics books from education company Kutuki.<\/p>\n

Read Along\u2019s Android app has been used by more than 30 million kids since its launch in 2019. Not only will the move to desktop give kids more device options, but it will also allow many to read on larger screens. This is something teachers have noted as important<\/a> to young learners, especially those with visual impairments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
