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.

Making reading measurable

We offer you the possibility to look at the reading behavior of the individual students both individually and objectively by means of different analyses.

Simple class management

Whether it's resetting passwords or analyzing student performance in detail - with alphaben it's now possible in seconds.

Everything at a glance

Whether you are a teacher or an administrator ("alphaben representative") - in your personal dashboard you have everything available at a glance.

Diverse library

From a variety of the most popular children's books, you can quickly and easily find the right book for your class.

Artificial intelligence to make your job easier

Have student texts that have been read aloud automatically reviewed using the latest technology. You can discuss the results with each child individually.

Preparing for
competency tests

The different task formats of the quizzes prepare the children for competency tests and thus give them confidence.

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

What others say

Ingrid
Teacher from Dubai

Again and again parents ask me what to do if their own child doesn't like to read. Force them? Just let them? alphaben is a great way to (re)discover the joy of reading, especially for children with low reading motivation. Collecting reading points creates a child-friendly incentive to stay on the ball.

Sebastian
Secondary school teacher

I don't use alphaben in my class yet because they are still too old for the first version. Books for older students are coming in a few months. Then the class reading will be read digitally, that's for sure!

Silke
Teacher community school

I think the project is great and I plan to read alphabets with my class for a whole year starting in the summer. In addition to the individual rewards in the app, I am planning a reading challenge within the class. Totally easy to manage thanks to alphaben and the teacher frontend!

Anja
Teacher from London

The poor reading skills of many children is one of the main reasons why the content of different school subjects is not understood. Poor understanding of the text due to limited vocabulary does not only affect performance in German. With alphaben, the students can unconsciously expand their vocabulary.

Konrad
Gymnasium teacher

The alphaben app promotes reading motivation and the independence of the students. The children can quickly and easily call up the word explanations they need in writing or pictures at school or at home without having to rely on the help of others. Class!

Ramona
Gymnasium teacher

At a time when children seem to be losing interest in reading, alphaben is just the ticket! It's not that children don't enjoy reading anymore, it's more that the texts overwhelm the children linguistically, which is mainly due to the lack of vocabulary. With alphaben, children can enjoy reading from an early age and greatly expand their basic vocabulary.

Matthias
Comprehensive school teacher

In most subjects in secondary schools Reading comprehension is key. Those who do not understand texts cannot understand the content and thus the subject, which in turn has negative effects on their school career. The timely use of alphaben can counteract these negative effects, which are particularly evident in the higher grades, in a playful and simple way.
