The Science behind Simbi
Simbi's methodology is scientifically proven to boost reading progress faster.
1.
Bimodal Reading
Simbi harnesses the power of bimodal reading - reading while listening - and the production effect - reading aloud increases recall - to quickly solidify fluency and comprehension.
2.
The Production Effect
When we narrate, we remember words or information about a text more easily than if we read silently. This is called the ‘production effect’ (MacLeod, 2011). After we have narrated, we are more easily able to access the words and information from our memory, locking in comprehension and new vocabulary.

Simbi's primary language is English. Simbi's responsive library also includes content in French, Spanish, Tibetan and select Indigenous languages.
Simbi lets you read at home and at school on the same account.
You can login using the same username and password, or SSO login that you use at school!
Once the accounts are connected, your child's teacher can see the progress they're making at home and you can see the progress they are making in class.
This ecosystem is what makes Simbi so powerful: our platform creates an environment where your child can be supported by every important person in their reading journey, their parents and their educators!
