BookIsles
For homeschool families

Leveled reading at home, without the worksheets

A growing library of narrated picture books at every guided-reading level, so each of your children reads at the right level — independently. You get the progress; they get the joy of finishing a book.

Right level for each child

Levels A–Z and age bands let a kindergartner and a fourth-grader share one library and each find books that fit — no more guessing or grade-level mismatches.

Reads itself, aloud

Every word highlights as it's read aloud. Pre-readers build word recognition in ‘Read to me’; growing readers echo and read on their own in ‘Read with me’ and ‘By myself’.

See real progress

Which books each child finished, minutes read, and how they're moving up the levels — the quiet reassurance that it's working, without testing them.

One family plan

Up to four children on a single plan, no per-book fees, works on the tablet or laptop you already have. Free trial, no card to start.

Questions we get asked

How many children can I add?

Up to four on the Homeschool plan, each with their own shelf, level and progress — so siblings at different stages aren't sharing one account.

How do I know which level to start at?

Start a little easier than you think. A book your child reads with almost no stumbles builds fluency; our guide to guided reading levels explains how to check in about a minute.

Can it be used for a reading record or portfolio?

Yes — you can see which books each child finished, minutes read, and how they're moving through the levels, which covers most record-keeping requirements.

Does my child need to be able to read already?

No. “Read to me” narrates the whole book with each word highlighted, so a pre-reader can start today and grow into reading it themselves.

What if we're mid-year with another curriculum?

BookIsles is a library rather than a scheme, so it sits alongside whatever you're using — most families use it as the daily reading practice part.
