How TigaBee works
TigaBee reads a picture book aloud in up to 3 languages your family speaks, and lights up each word as it is read. Children hear the same story in each language and learn to connect the sounds with the words.
1. Choose your languages
Pick up to 3 from English, Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, Arabic, Russian, German, Dutch, Japanese and Korean. Each language has its own colour, so children learn to recognise them.
2. Choose a reading level
Level 1 (ages 2 to 4) uses one short sentence per page. Levels 2, 3 and 4 tell the same story with richer words, so a child can move up without losing a story they love.
3. Read together
Read in one language, or show every sentence in all your languages side by side, read one after the other. Swipe or tap to turn the page.
4. Talk about the story
A few simple questions appear during the story to check understanding. You can turn them off in the grown-ups' settings, which open with a press-and-hold so little fingers don't change them by accident.
Free and TigaBee Story Club
3 stories are free with a free parent account. TigaBee Story Club opens the whole library, lets you record your own voice reading any page, and shows your child's Language balance.
