About Time-2-Read

Time-2-Read makes a new illustrated story for your child every time they read. The story is built around them: their name, the things they love and the reading level they are at today. It is made for children from about 3 to 15, from pre-readers who listen along to confident readers who want a challenge.

How it works

  • Tell us your child's name, age and interests, and pick a reading level.
  • Time-2-Read writes a story with your child as the main character, with a picture on every page.
  • Tap any word to hear it, with phonics help for sounding out tricky words.
  • Narration reads the story aloud and highlights each word as it is spoken.
  • A 20-minute reading timer is built into every story.

Stories are written in English.
