Meet the Daily Recap — our biggest update yet! NEW: DAILY RECAP TAB Every book your child scans now comes with follow-up activities: a think-about-it question, a read-it-out-loud passage, and vocabulary words to master.

User reviews

Amazing parent tool

I had used ReadBuddy for three months in a row. It is a fantastic tool for helping children build reading comprehension. I love that it works with almost any book—just scan the cover and the app generates thoughtful questions that encourage deeper understanding rather than just checking whether a child finished reading. The quizzes are age-appropriate, easy to use, and provide useful insights for parents. The interface is clean, simple, and kid-friendly. Highly recommended for parents who want to be more involved in their child’s reading journey.
