Meet Lantern.
A patient tutor, one hint at a time.
Your child opens a real book, reads aloud, and talks with a patient reading coach. Lantern sees the page your child is reading and helps without putting a screen between the reader and the story.
Lantern ships broadly in 2027. The parent consent portal is live today, and the Companion app is in private beta.
What Lantern can do
Lantern doesn’t just give the answer. It guides your child through a structured curriculum.
Lantern waits, then guides, one small step at a time. The pause is deliberate: a few seconds of quiet give your child room to try before any help steps in. When Lantern does speak, it stays brief and warm — and the breakthrough always belongs to the child.
- Coaches reading with real books and a phonics-aligned curriculum
- Reads aloud and tells stories
- Supports writing, drawing, and creative play
- Tutors math and helps with worksheets
Screen-free by design
Screens don’t teach reading. Reading does.
Reading is a hands-on skill. It gets better out loud, on real pages — no tablet, no tapping. Lantern’s voice prompts, encourages, and talks about the story while your child stays with the book.
No screen for your kid, ever. Parents use the portal and native app for consent, control, and progress; the child’s experience stays the book and the conversation.
