In classrooms across India, we’re pleased to announce that Read Along is now available in the form of “Bolo” (or Bolo for short).
The Foundational Literacy and Numeracy mission
In 2021, the Government of India announced that it would dedicate one year to focus on a program that supports children ages 0-6 in gaining foundational skills including education, so by the year 2026, literacy and numeracy could be ensured for all young people from Grade 3 onward.

You can enjoy a premium app experience while still managing to keep all of your attention focused on what's important, enjoying the book you're reading and relaxing knowing that access to the internet is not at all necessary or required. There's no need for you to get frustrated if your battery is running low because this app will use absolutely no data so you won't need to find an Internet connection at all. Neither will you have any problems syncing your progress from one device to another as a username, password, phone number or age requirement isn't required - it's completely private!
How Read Learn to Read with Google
Read Along helps kids independently learn and build their reading skills with the help of an in-app reading buddy named Diya. As kids read out loud, Diya uses Google’s text-to-speech and speech recognition technology to detect if a student is struggling or successfully reading the passage. She gives them positive and reinforcing feedback along the way, just as a parent or teacher would. Children can also tap Diya at any time for help pronouncing a word or a sentence.
Read Along keeps young minds engaged with a collection of diverse and interesting stories from around the world, and games sprinkled into those stories. Kids can collect stars and badges as they learn, which motivates them to keep playing and reading.
Parents can create profiles for multiple readers, who tap on their photo to learn at their own pace and to track their individual progress. Read Along will personalize the experience by recommending the right difficulty level of stories and games based on their reading level performance.
