The easiest way to provide a managed reading experience
To inspire a love of reading, we focus on the pupil’s experience above all else. Giglets at its heart is a library but with one key difference: pupils are engaged in the story before they’ve even started to decode the text.
Giglets texts captivate the reader with illustrations and animations, sound effects, music, and audio storytelling. The overall Giglets experience is tailored, responsive and flexible and our texts, resources and interface design is constantly improving according to feedback from you!
Languages
The Giglets library consists of over 1,500 texts across 38 different languages. As well as the range of languages available, many of the stories are from different cultures and include inclusive themes. They are often supported with audio storytelling provided by professional storytellers fluent in the original language of the story.
Accessibility & Inclusion
We place accessibility and inclusion at the centre of product development and take care to consider the contexts in which our product is being used. We take the view that children need in-platform control of features like colour schemes, font size and typeface so that they can access material independently and at the same time as their classmates. Importantly, these adjustments are presented as ‘options’ to the whole class, so learners are not singled out or made to feel different.
