She can talk to her grandmother. She just can’t read what she writes.
ReadBanyan teaches children who already speak their mother tongue to read the script — live, with a real teacher, in six weeks, ending in a graduation with a certificate. Now enrolling Odia and Bengali.

The Odia Reading Course
Your child already speaks Odia. In six weeks, a real teacher takes them from their first letter to reading a passage aloud.
The Bengali Reading Course
Your child already speaks Bangla. In six weeks, a real teacher takes them from their first letter to reading a passage aloud — the language of Tagore.
Not a child? We also teach teens & adults — in their own separate batches. See the Teens & Adults course →

Why it matters
So the mother tongue doesn’t skip a generation.
Your child chats happily at home — but hand them a storybook, a festival card, or a note from their grandmother, and the script is a wall. English-medium school will never teach this. ReadBanyan is the bridge: in six weeks, “I can’t read this” becomes reading a passage aloud — the kind of moment that makes a grandparent’s day.
How it works
Live teaching, gentle practice, a real finish line.
Two live classes a week
One to learn new letters, one to read them aloud to the teacher. 35 minutes each, six weeks, in a tiny group of ten.
Five minutes a day
Short daily practice on WhatsApp between classes — a voice note, a tracing sheet. Not homework battles.
A teacher who notices
The teacher tracks the exact letters your child mixes up and brings them back until they read cleanly.
They graduate
Each child reads a passage aloud and earns a named certificate — proof to show grandparents.
“Why pay when there are free apps?”
Because an app can’t hear your child read.
Tracing apps are fine for practising a letter. But no app hears your child read aloud, notices the letters they mix up, or claps at their first full sentence. A live teacher does.
| A free tracing app | ReadBanyan | |
|---|---|---|
| A real teacher hears your child read | No | Yes, every week |
| Small group, personal attention | No — solo & anonymous | Batch of 10 or fewer |
| Tracks your child’s specific mix-ups | No | Yes — the confusion log |
| Reads aloud, not just traces | Writing practice only | Letters → words → sentences aloud |
| A named graduation certificate | No | Yes — printable, to show family |
Read your mother tongue.
Give your child the quiet pride of reading their mother tongue — and give their grandparents a moment they’ll never forget.
