Introducing Kibeam, the screen-free AI-powered device bringing regular books to life

Kibeam is redefining early childhood literacy education with the launch of Kibeam Wand: a first-of-its-kind, screen-free, AI-powered handheld device that reinforces foundational reading skills through immersive storytelling and play-based learning.

Designed to build PreK–3 learners’ literacy skills and grounded in the Science of Reading, the Kibeam Wand Reading System creates a multisensory, kinetic experience that nurtures vocabulary development, phonological awareness and sustained engagement. As students point the Wand’s HappyBeam at a page, sentences, words, letters and pictures, the story comes alive with real-talent character voices, music and sound effects. In addition, each book in the Kibeam library is packed with hours of interactive, kinetic, reading activities and learning games to help students playfully grow into confident readers.

The Kibeam Wand was designed by a team of former LeapFrog creators, writers, engineers and education experts united by a vision to transform how children learn to read.
