Bookr Kids, a reading-based early learning edutainment platform that is designed to engage and delight the youngest learners in reading, has disclosed €2 million in new funding and a further €2 million in convertible note. The round is led by Bonitas, a Private VC owned by Sándor Csányi (currently the richest Hungarian according to the Forbes World’s Billionaire list). Bookr Kids will use the financing to take their English-learning literacy program Bookr Class to the global education market with the companies’ goal to mitigate Covid-19’s impact on education.

With the help of this investment, Bookr Kids will develop more innovative content and a more comprehensive curriculum, including 21st-century skills. To facilitate language acquisition, Bookr Kids’ animated interactive e-books and apps follow a researched methodology. The texts and activities are designed to support individual and classroom use as well. The illustrations and animations support the understanding of the texts, but they’re moderate enough not to distract users from reading. Moreover, the entertaining educational games help to highlight the main linguistic elements and features for a more focused, intentional learning and practice.
