What is the solution?

Building on the latest cognitive research, Simbi have created a platform where students can both read along while listening to audiobooks or even record their own voice as a resource for others, all to encourage children to read more. Students feel empowered to read as they see that others are listening to their voice. Students can even partner with a personal reading coach through the Simbi platform, which increases students’ motivation even further and accelerates their progress.

Across the world, hundreds of millions of people cannot read, including millions of children. Meanwhile, literacy rates in the developed world are in decline. Simbi has partnered with international organizations like the U.N’s High Commissioner for Refugees and is rolling out its solution in underserved areas. They have already had a measurable impact on the lives of over two hundred thousand children all over the world, especially in developing countries. Simbi offers a freemium to allow users, no matter their budget, to become literate. For learners across the world, Simbi is used for learning how to read as Duolingo is used for learning languages.
