Does Dilly read out loud?

Not by itself. The app does not speak. Your iPhone or iPad has a feature called Speak Screen that can read any screen to your child.

The app does not speak. Dilly has no voice of its own.

Use your phone's Speak Screen

Your iPhone and iPad can read a screen out loud. Dilly's own tip, shown in the Parent/Teacher area for younger readers, is:

  1. Open Settings, then Accessibility, then Spoken Content.
  2. Turn on Speak Screen.
  3. In Dilly, swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen.

The wording of these steps can differ a little between iOS versions.

Reading together

For kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade, Dilly also shows "Read this together with a grown-up." See Can my kindergartener use Dilly?

Sounds

Dilly has little sound effects when you tap and answer, and a happy sound when a mission is done. Those are not spoken words. See How do I turn off sounds?
