The record

What it does: Read Along is a reading app that helps children learn to read with an in-app buddy that listens as they read aloud and offers help when they struggle.
Reading buddy: The home page says children get real-time feedback by reading aloud to Diya, the in-app reading buddy.
Stories and games: The home page describes more than 1,000 global stories and word games in eleven languages.
Rewards: Children can earn stars and badges for reading aloud and sharing their progress.
Offline use: After the initial download, the Android app works offline without Wi-Fi or data.
Learning fit: Google Play says the app works best for children who already know some of the alphabet.
Reading groups: Teachers can create virtual reading groups to review students’ reading time, speed, popular stories, and activity, and share assignments.
Web sign-in: The privacy notice says signed-in service is available on the web and Android, while signed-out service is available only to existing Android app users.
Voice privacy: The privacy notice says voice data is processed on the user’s device, is not shared with Google, and is not stored after processing.
Data collected: The privacy notice says Read Along collects usage logs and general location based on the device IP address, plus identifiers and settings depending on whether the user is signed in.
Progress data: Google says collected information supports reading history, in-app rewards, and book recommendations based on a child’s interests and reading level.
Teacher data sharing: For signed-in reading groups, teachers and admins can access information about books read, reading performance, reading minutes, and the child’s in-app name.
