## Description

Your child reads a real storybook aloud. ZigZu listens to every word, catches the ones they miss and teaches those back in Indian English. Free to start, no card needed.

Your child will read on their own sooner than you think.

ZigZu listens while your child reads a real storybook out loud. The moment they get stuck, it stops, breaks the word into its sounds, and has them try again. In Indian English, the way their school teaches it.

Built for ages 4 to 8. LKG, UKG, Class 1, Class 2.

WHAT MAKES ZIGZU DIFFERENT

Most reading apps show your child a story and hope. ZigZu actually listens. It follows every word your child says out loud, in real time, and it knows the difference between a word they read and a word they guessed. That is the part a busy parent cannot always catch, and the part a class of forty never will.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Your child opens a story and starts reading aloud.
2. ZigZu listens to every word.
3. Stuck on a word? ZigZu teaches it back, sound by sound.
4. Stickers, daily streaks, and progress your child can feel.

PHONICS, THE WAY YOUR SCHOOL TEACHES IT

The same method Indian English-medium schools use.
- Letter sounds, a to z
- Blending, c-a-t into cat
- Decoding words nobody has taught them yet
- Sight words, the ones that never sound out
- Indian English pronunciation throughout

If your child is on a school phonics programme, ZigZu picks up where the classroom stops.

NINE READING LEVELS, ONE STEP AT A TIME

1. Starting Reader. First sounds: s, a, t
2. Emergent Reader. Short vowels: cat, pin
3. Beginning Reader. Letter teams: sh, ch, th
4. Developing Reader. Blends: str, pl, nk
5. Transitional Reader. Vowel teams: ee, oo, ai
6. Fluent Reader. Magic-e: cake, bike
7. Skilled Reader. R-controlled vowels: car, bird
8. Expanding Reader. Gliding vowels: coin, cloud
9. Independent Reader. Longer words: rocket, jumping

Your child moves up when they are ready, not when the calendar says so. ZigZu starts where your child actually is, not where their grade says they should be.

WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY SEE

Every session tells you which words your child read cleanly and which ones they missed, so you know what to practise tonight without having to sit through the whole book.

SAFE, AD-FREE, KIDS-FIRST

- No ads, ever
- Nothing is ever sold to your child inside a reading session
- No chat, no social features, no links out
- You can hand over the phone and walk away

"Can I do ZigZu instead of YouTube today?" Kavir, age 5, Mumbai

"My child has started enjoying reading" Anaya, age 6, Delhi
