Reading, writing, and math — out loud.
A personal tutor for every kid. Without another screen.
Lantern is a screen-free tutoring device that sits on your child’s desk, watches the real page, and coaches reading, writing, and math out loud — no screen for your kid, ever.

How it works
It coaches your child, and keeps you in the loop.
Lantern sits on your child’s desk and looks at the real page in front of them. When they get stuck, it waits a few seconds, then offers the next small step — a first sound, a strategy, a gentle cue — never just the answer, so the breakthrough stays theirs.
After each session, the Companion app gives you a warm, plain-English recap: what went well, and one thing to try next, so you know exactly how to help at home. Reading, writing, and math each follow the same patient, out-loud approach. See how Lantern works.
For parents
You’re always in control.
Every account starts with a real, typed-signature parental-consent step — no dark patterns, no pre-checked boxes. From the parent portal and the Companion app, you can add another child, pause Lantern any time, and see, export, or request deletion of your family’s data whenever you want.
Reading progress and book ideas are there when you want them, and consent history and controls stay one tap away. Tour the parent experience.
Privacy & safety
Consent first, with the full record one link away.
Before your child ever reads with Lantern, a parent reads the full COPPA Direct Notice and signs consent. Your information is encrypted in transit and never sold. We don’t run ads.
The parent portal is live today, and our full privacy, safety, and security notices live in one public legal library — so you can always read them yourself. Read privacy & safety.
