What is the idea behind alphaben?

smart reading for kids.

alphaben is a reading app for children that increases both reading motivation and reading comprehension. Each child gets custom book recommendations based on their personal interests and their individual reading level. Each book includes child-friendly word explanations and exciting quizzes to improve reading skills. Children are rewarded for their reading performance with points and reading badges.

Reading at your level.

With the help of a one-time reading test, we determine your current reading level and recommend suitable books - smart, isn't it?

What does.... mean?

Some words are difficult to understand. No problem! Reading coaches Alpha, Ben, and Charlie will provide you with word explanations.

Got everything?

Your reading coach will ask you exciting questions after each chapter. Got everything? Great! Your correct answer will earn you reading points.

Become a reading pro!

Collect points and earn badges on your way from reading fan to reading pro.

Your own library!

alphaben has many great books for you to choose from, based on your interests and reading level. You can build your own library with all the books you like.

alphaben goes school!

If your teacher uses alphaben , they can send you reading assignments. You can find them in your own mailbox. Cool, isn't it?

Practice makes perfect!

Do you ever wonder if you read that correctly? Record yourself reading aloud and send the recording to your teacher.

Read, collect points and do something good.
– That is read.share.care.

Bei read.share.care kannst du großartige Dinge bewirken. Du kannst deine Lesepunkte spenden und somit die Welt ein bisschen besser machen.
