Story Lantern

When reading is hard, every page can feel like a test. Story Lantern makes it feel like a story instead.

Iskra, a warm little dragon, invents an interactive adventure where your child is the hero. Chapters are short. Sentences are short. The font is big, rounded and calm. And to find out what happens next, your child reads two simple choices and picks one — reading with a reason.

BUILT FOR CHILDREN WHO FIND READING HARD

• Echo reading: Iskra reads one sentence, your child repeats it aloud. This adult-reads-child-repeats pattern is a technique reading teachers have trusted for decades — here it comes with a dragon and a little celebration after every sentence.
• "Now I read": your child reads the chapter into the microphone and watches words turn green, one by one, left to right.
• Tap a tricky word: it appears large, split into syllables (but·ter·fly), spoken slowly by syllable, then whole.
• Listen first: every chapter can be read aloud with word-by-word highlighting.

NO RED INK, EVER Wrong tries are met with "let's listen once more" — never with a buzzer. Progress is stars, lanterns and a gentle reading streak.

FOR PARENTS Behind a PIN: a daily chapter limit, narration voice settings, and a quiet dashboard showing which words your child taps or stumbles on — so you know what to practise, without quizzing them.

Stories come in 12 languages (English, Swedish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Dutch) — a real help for bilingual kids.

No accounts, no ads, no data collection. Made by a dad for his daughter, who reads better in her head than out loud — for now.

New chapters need an internet connection. Microphone modes use Apple speech recognition where your device supports the language.
