India's first AI Reading Coach for kids. Hears every word your child reads. Teaches what they miss. In Indian English. Your child reads a real storybook out loud, from a library of 100+ levelled stories. ZigZu listens to every word. The moment they get stuck, it stops, breaks the word into its sounds, and has them try again, the way their school teaches it. Built for ages 4 to 8: LKG, UKG, Class 1 and Class 2. Free for 7 days. No payment needed to start. WHAT MAKES ZIGZU DIFFERENT Most reading apps show your child a story and hope. ZigZu actually listens. It follows every word your child says out loud, in real time, and it knows the difference between a word they read and a word they guessed. That is the part a busy parent cannot always catch, and the part a class of forty never will. HOW IT WORKS 1. Your child opens a story and starts reading aloud. 2. ZigZu listens to every word. 3. Stuck on a word? ZigZu teaches it back, sound by sound. 4. Stickers, daily streaks and progress your child can feel. PHONICS, THE WAY YOUR SCHOOL TEACHES IT The same method Indian English-medium schools use, whether your child's school follows Jolly Phonics, Letterland or its own programme. - All 42 letter sounds, with audio - Blending, c-a-t into cat - Decoding words nobody has taught them yet - Sight words, the ones that never sound out - Indian English pronunciation throughout NINE READING LEVELS, ONE STEP AT A TIME 1. Starting Reader. First sounds: s, a, t 2. Emergent Reader. Short vowels: cat, pin 3. Beginning Reader. Letter teams: sh, ch, th 4. Developing Reader. Blends: str, pl, nk 5. Transitional Reader.

Longer words: rocket, jumping Your child moves up when they are ready, not when the calendar says so. WHAT YOU WILL SEE AS A PARENT The Parents section shows the words your child read cleanly, the ones they missed, the stories they finished and the sounds they are working on now. You know what to practise tonight without sitting through the whole book. If a book feels too easy or too hard, you can change the level yourself. SAFE, AD-FREE, KIDS-FIRST - No ads, ever - Nothing is ever sold to your child inside a reading session - No chat, no social features, no links out - Works on older iPhones and iPads You can hand over the phone and walk away. WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING "Can I do ZigZu instead of YouTube today?"
