Our mission
About Joey Books
Built to help children feel confident with books.
Joey Books started with one simple idea: children should be able to enjoy books independently.
We built Joey by combining classroom insight, parenting experience, and product design to create a read-along app that is safe, useful, and simple for children to use.
What is Joey Books?
A digital library where stories are read aloud with children following every word.
Joey Books brings vetted children's books to life. Children can hear each story read aloud, follow the highlighted words, and enjoy books independently while they are still learning to read.
Our guided reading method is book-first: no feeds, no ads, no autoplay, and no unrelated videos. It is designed for calm, purposeful screen time at home, in the classroom, or anywhere a child wants to settle into a story.
Guided reading method
- Choose a bookChildren browse vetted published picture books in a closed, ad-free library instead of random web content.
- Listen and followWarm narration reads the story aloud while words highlight on screen, keeping support inside the story.
- Read with confidenceStories have natural stopping points, so children practise finishing books without feeds, autoplay, or unrelated videos pulling them on.
