worldreader keep children reading

Until very recently, Margret was illiterate. Margret went back to school just a few years ago, at an adult education center and even though she had never learned to read or write, she quickly became the center's top student.

That's why she uses Worldreader on her mobile phone to teach her students, to read and to read with her own children.
