We’re excited to announce three new updates designed to deepen student engagement, personalize learning, and make storytelling even more dynamic!

1. New Page Type: Add Two Images on One Page

You asked—we listened! Teachers and students can now add two images on a single book page. This new layout option allows for more creative expression, better visual storytelling, and enhanced comprehension—perfect for comparing ideas and showing sequences. Captions can be added to each of the images. Teachers can disable this option from the settings (Premium feature) 

2. Audio Feedback from Teachers

Students can now hear their teacher’s voice alongside written feedback. With our new audio feedback feature, teachers can give spoken encouragement, clarify instructions, or highlight areas for improvement—helping students feel more connected and supported. Available for all free and paid users. Just log in and start providing feedback.

3. Read-Aloud Speed Control

Every learner is different. That’s why we’ve added read-aloud speed control, so students can adjust the pace of the reading to suit their comfort level. Whether they need it slower to follow along or faster to review, it supports self-paced, inclusive learning. Students will see this option when reading or editing a book.   

These updates reflect our continued commitment to improving literacy instruction with a tool that is simple, meaningful, and science-based. Stay tuned—more exciting features are on the way!
