Bornomala | বর্ণমালা

A joyful first step into Bangla for kids — trace letters and numbers, read along, sing, talk, and play. Now with conversations, a word bank, and two new games!

Bornomala is a warm, beautifully crafted way for children to learn the Bengali alphabet (বর্ণমালা). Built by BALA School, a free Sunday Bengali-language school, it turns letters, sounds, and first words into playful daily practice — with no ads, no sign-ups, and nothing collected about your child.

LEARN THE ALPHABET • All 50 vowels and consonants, each with its name, sound, and a real example word • Tap any letter to hear it spoken aloud • Colorful illustrations for every example word

WRITE BY HAND • Trace each letter on screen with a finger or Apple Pencil • A gentle guide glyph shows the shape; step straight to the next letter

PLAY AND PRACTICE • A picture quiz that rewards correct answers with stars and confetti • Word Solitaire (শব্দ সাজানো): arrange scrambled letters to spell the pictured word

READ TOGETHER • A library of leveled reading books, grouped from Level 1 to Level 5 • Built-in reader for cozy story time

TRACK PROGRESS • Friendly “Who’s learning?” profiles so siblings can share one device • Stars per letter and a daily streak to keep little learners motivated

MADE FOR FAMILIES • Works fully offline — everything stays on your device • No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no data collection • Designed in the warm, hand-crafted style of BALA School (balaschool.org)

Bornomala is a labor of love for Bengali families around the world who want to pass on their mother tongue. আয় বর্ণমালা শিখি!
