Since its launch in 2018, Ana-Maria and Marianne, the co-founders of Corneille, have been offering a new, fun and responsible way to manage children’s screen time.

What could be better than learning whilst playing? Corneille offers children a stimulating approach to learning to read, tailored to their age, needs and knowledge, with a personalised learning journey:

  • dictation
  • syllabic decoding
  • letter tracing
  • independent reading
  • letter recognition.

New features on the way!

Tried, tested and approved by 20,000 households. On 11 June, Corneille launched a new version, now available in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Canada!

Available to download from the App Store and Google Play

  • Read even more with new stories now available!
  • Play in a new world with costumes inspired by the world of fairy tales

And still for the same price of 0.99 euros per week after a 7-day free trial!

A 100% personalised learning journey

As every child is unique, Corneille offers a personalised learning programme, tailored to each user’s knowledge, needs and preferences to help them make effective progress in reading!

A collection of early reading books

Corneille offers over 100 texts of varying difficulty levels for children to read as they begin their reading journey, with the help of the ‘I read on my own’ module, where children can record themselves, listen to their own voice and share their reading with their loved ones.

High-quality content

The collection of educational games has been designed and developed by a team of early years professionals and follows the French Ministry of Education’s guidelines for learning to read.

Weekly parental monitoring

To track a child’s progress, the parental dashboard provides detailed insights into their development within the app, their strengths, areas for improvement, and the time spent playing.

A company spun out of the Plaine Images incubator. The journey began in 2018 when Ana-Maria Megela came up with the idea for the project whilst looking for an app to help her eldest daughter learn to read in French. She decided to team up with Marianne Joly, a children’s book publisher and teacher.

Selected to join Plaine Images’ Take Off incubation programme, Corneille is now flying the nest, whilst still supported by our ecosystem and by Pictanovo!
