Read-aloud stories and comics for kids 2-16. Words light up as they are read.
Read full description
Berry is a reading app for kids aged 2–16. Original kids books and comics are read aloud, and every word lights up as it is spoken.
No ads. No chat. No links out. Just books.
READ ALONG, WORD BY WORD
Tap Read To Me and a warm narrator reads the page while each word highlights exactly as it is said. Children read along, follow the words with their eyes, and start recognising them on their own. When they are ready, switch to Read Alone and let them take the lead. A tired reader can always hand the page back to the narrator.
KIDS BOOKS YOU WILL NOT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE
Every Berry book is written and illustrated for Berry. Picture books for little ones, bedtime stories for winding down, full-colour kids comics for early readers who say they "don't like reading", and longer stories for older readers. New books are added regularly, and a real person reads every one before it goes live. No endless feed, no filler: a library you can trust to hand over.
STORIES FOR EVERY AGE, 2–16
Books are written for age bands, so every child sees stories made for them. Toddlers get short, rhythmic picture books to hear again and again. Early readers get funny, fast comics that make turning the page the reward. Older kids get richer characters, bigger feelings and stories worth finishing on their own.
TAP ANY WORD
Stuck on a word? Tap it. Berry says it out loud and shows what it means. No dictionary, no asking a grown-up, no losing the thread of the story. Every tap builds vocabulary quietly, right inside the book.
FIND A BOOK BY ASKING
Children who cannot type yet can search by speaking. Say "a story about a dragon" and Berry looks for it. The audio is processed on the device and is never stored or uploaded.
A READING BUDDY WHO GROWS WITH THEM
Berry is a bear, and Berry is your child's reading buddy. Berry levels up the more they read. Daily streaks, badges and a short quiz at the end of each book turn finishing a story into the reward, so reading becomes the thing they ask for.
BEDTIME STORIES, EVEN WITH NO SIGNAL
Download a book before you leave. It reads in full, with pictures, narration and word highlighting, on a plane, in the car, at grandma's, or anywhere the signal drops.
A PARENT DASHBOARD THAT TELLS YOU SOMETHING
See minutes read, books finished and reading level over time, for each child. Every child gets their own profile and progress, so siblings never lose each other's place. Set a daily reading limit, and when time is up Berry winds down gently instead of cutting off mid-page. An optional daily reading reminder helps build the habit, and you can turn it off at any time.
