Google Reading Learning Tool Now Available Online
Google is launching a beta version of Read Along for the web so kids can learn to read right from the browser. We are waiting for the French.
Google offers many services and other tools, more or less complex, more or less successful. You probably only know a small part of it. Did you know that among the many programs from Mountain View there is a tool for teaching children to read? Read Along has already proven itself on Android. Today it is available directly from the Internet.
Google Launches Read Along Beta for the Web
You no longer need to take out your Android smartphone to use or try Google’s learning to read tool. The American giant has indeed launched a beta version of the web version of Read Along, which offers a similar experience right on your computer through your favorite web browser. As before, Diya’s virtual assistant will encourage your children to read aloud and suggest corrections if necessary. Kids can complete activities for different levels and earn digital rewards when they reach specific goals.
so that children can learn to read directly from the browser
The beta is currently compatible with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox browsers, with support for Safari and other browsers coming “soon.”Children can read in different languages, but, unfortunately, so far only in English as a basis (Spanish or Portuguese optional). All speech recognition processing is also done locally, right in your browser. So you don’t have to worry about someone accessing your child’s voice recordings.
We are still waiting for the French
The web version of Read Along won’t change your mind if you don’t like these sorts of modern solutions, but Google doesn’t offer this tool as a replacement for the human method. Rather, it is about giving children the opportunity to improve their reading skills, for example, when their parents are unavailable. And it can also help schools.
Let’s hope Mountain View adds more languages very soon, especially French.
