Little stories. Big understanding.
Some kids can read every word and still miss what the story means. In EliTales, your child reads a mystery adventure with Eli, a friendly dragon who asks questions and gives clues instead of answers.
No sign-up needed for the demo. Nothing your child does in it is saved.
Meet Eli, your child's reading buddy
Eli is a small, curious dragon who loves stories. She reads along, asks good questions, and never just hands over the answer. When your child figures something out, the tip of her tail glows.
How it works
Read the adventure
A five-chapter mystery written at two reading levels, with optional read-aloud.
Answer and explain
Questions cover six reading skills, from finding details to backing up an answer with clues from the story.
Clues, not answers
When your child is stuck, Eli gives up to three clues, then shows how. The story stays on screen the whole time.
Reports that tell you the truth
You see what your child did on their own, separately from what they did with help. When there isn't enough evidence to say something about a skill, the report says so.
You also get simple ways to practice together, away from the screen.
Built for kids. Controlled by parents.
No open chat
Your child answers story questions with Eli. They can't have open-ended conversations with AI.
Parents hold the keys
You create the account and give permission before your child's profile exists. Voice and homework photos stay off until you turn them on.
Minimal data
A nickname is enough. No child email, no ads, no advertising profiles, and you can delete your child's data any time.
Reviewed by specialists
Every question and clue will be reviewed by a literacy specialist before full launch.
