Responsive Content

Simbi's content is carefully selected to offer a variety of topics and genres that spark a love of reading. We take pride in sharing stories as diverse as Simbi's young readership, so every child can see themselves as heroes, adventurers, scientists, and friends.

Building Critical Thinkers

We consider stories to be a powerful window into the lives of others, and a mirror for self-reflection and critical thinking. Simbi’s content empowers students to gather facts, to make informed connections, to ask important questions, and to engage in meaningful conversations.

You’ve got a book. Now what?

Narrate

Narrating stories with your own voice strengthens memory and boosts comprehension.

Read Along

Reading Along to the words on a page while listening to a narrator fosters confidence and builds decoding skills.

Silent Read

If you’re just looking to read, no audio involved, we have a mode for that too. Silent Read is perfect for quiet time or classroom reading corners.

This year I am teaching online full-time to learners in grades four to six. Simbi has been an online educator's dream come true by allowing flexibility in tailoring relevant and meaningful reading instruction to a diverse range of needs. The books and recordings help promote globalization and an inclusive reading culture.
