Description

Reading that gets better with every word

Yap Books is an exciting new way for children to learn how to read and enjoy books with voice animation. Children are now able to bring their stories to life as they read, triggering sounds, animations, and more with their voice making children’s storytime better with every word.

Listen, read & learn with voice animation

Using voice technology children are encouraged to use their voice as much as they can to interact with our books and learning materials. This helps children to improve children’s communication, speech, and language, helping children to become better readers and communicators.

‘Voted Best Educational App of the year 2019’

Since its launch, the Yap® Books app has received many awards, including the ‘best educational app’ and ’best mobile learning technology, reaffirming that our unique learning strategy is a much welcomed and effective solution for children and educators.

Read along & learn

The app helps children by providing real-time reading help and rewards for each word they read correctly, making screen-time much more impactful and educational for any reader! Yap Books helps children to improve their literacy, language & communication skills by cleverly listening to them read and then providing feedback to help them learn. Every reader will receive immediate animated rewards, as well as reading badges, stars & percentages encouraging children to challenge themselves time and time again.

Play, speak, and learn with Yap Books

Yap Books includes its very own ever-expanding library, with a range of learning materials, such as word games, decision making stories, phonics, and fictional stories, all of which can be brought to life by the reader’s voice. Our stories and learning resources are carefully planned and written by our team of teachers. Each focusing on a wide range of key learning & development skills. With a range of child-friendly characters and interactive resources, learning is kept fun and engaging to help children develop their reading quicker.

Create books and then bring them to life

Writing is a key skill for life that has been integrated into our app. With Yap story Creator, children can create their own magical voice-animated books and then bring them to life with their voice. Encouraging children to write stories, helps to build a better understanding of language and literacy, and helps to promote creative thinking. Using a wide range of animation tools, children can then start bringing their imagination to life and learn the fundamental skills of digital creativity, from a very early age.

For schools & teachers

Yap® Classroom enables seamless connectivity from classrooms to homes, ensuring all children are supported inside and outside of the classroom. Allowing teachers to remotely monitor children’s reading progress ensures that every child can receive tailored support each step of the way. Remote, smart assessment technology allows a teacher to see each individual pupil in one online area, allowing them to keep track of reading activity and development. This ensures that every reader is reaching their learning goals and not falling behind without going unnoticed.

Review from a teacher

This app has a lot of potential! My main criticism is that the speech is not punctuated correctly. Punctuation marks are often left out of speech in the stories, which is an awful shame. Try contacting Twinkl to look at their apps too.

Developer Response ,

Hi Georgina,

Thank you for your positive rating, your feedback is always valued.

The majority of our content has been in collaboration with teachers and educators around the UK, but we understand the importance of accuracy when it comes to children's literacy. We’ll take the time to review each book in our library and rectify any issues we notice.

If you do have a spare minute or two, we'd be happy to hear about the errors you noticed. Please email hello@yapbooks.com and we can continue from there.

Have a lovely day.

Really good concept if they fix the glitches

Saw these guys on Dragons Den so thought I would try out the app for my son. I almost deleted the app as it was not recognising my voice and just wasn’t working and kept freezing. But I persisted then miraculously it started to work but still very glitchy.
The cursor wasn’t moving quick enough to match my words (and I was reading very slowly). Seems like it would be a good app for kids if they could just fix the bugs so for now only 3 stars from me

I think this might be the reason why they had 70,000 users but only a thousand active.

Phenomenal! Would highly recommend!

I’ve recently download yap books to help my youngest daughter who is struggling to read. Her attention is very short when it comes to books and reading but this app has worked wonders! She adores the animations, silly sounds and is obsessed with collecting the stars and badges. Thank you and would highly recommend!!
