LOTE4Kids
We are thrilled to announce the launch of LOTE4Kids, a database of children’s eBooks and audiobooks in various world languages, allowing children and families to enjoy books and learn language through the magic of storytelling.
Each book within the LOTE4Kids collection is paired with English translations to enhance language learning and comes available in many formats including bilingual editions and interactive flipbooks. The platform offers thousands of books in over 65 languages, with 150-200 new books and new languages added monthly.
In addition to books, LOTE4Kids enriches children’s reading journey with comprehension quizzes and engaging learning activities that deepen their connection to the stories they love.
