Help your child love reading — with the books you already own.
Point a camera at any real book. bucoo highlights each word like karaoke, shows the syllables, illustrates the story, and coaches like a patient tutor — encouraging, and never too helpful.
Built on the science of reading · Australian-made · Coming soon
From your bookshelf to a guided read — in seconds.
A camera reads the page. Your child reads aloud. bucoo listens, highlights in time, helps with the tricky words, and celebrates every win.
A real tutor's instincts — patient, warm, and never too helpful.
Your child's own books
No catalogue to read through. bucoo works with the books on your shelf — and suggests the perfect next one.
Supportive, not too helpful
It lets your child try, then steps in at just the right moment — first the sound, then the syllable, then the whole word.
The science of reading
Systematic phonics and guided oral reading — the methods that actually work, now mandated in classrooms.
Parents in control
You set the voices, the helpfulness, screen-time limits — and a reward shop your child can spend earned points in.
