Booka, the digital reading platform for young children, reports a significant shift in reading engagement thanks to the success of its short-form reading format — Booka Reads. In 2024, internal data showed that children who engaged with Reads completed 40% more books than the average user, signaling a powerful evolution in how families read in the digital space.

“Booka Reads is our answer to modern attention spans and busy family routines. It’s fast, focused, and still deeply meaningful — and kids are reading more because of it,” said Andrey Mishenev, CEO of Booka.

Booka Reads offers short, curated versions of children’s books that allow families to enjoy complete story arcs in just a few minutes. Usage of the Reads format grew by 88.5%, while the average length of each book decreased — a reflection of families’ preference for shorter, complete stories that fit into everyday routines and help children build consistent reading habits.

Nearly one in four books read on Booka in 2024 was a Reads title. This format has proven especially effective for discovery, repetition, and sustaining reading momentum — allowing children to build consistent habits, even in short sessions.

Overall Platform Growth

In parallel with the rise of Booka Reads, the platform saw broader gains in engagement:

– 84,743 books read in 2024 — up 25.6% from the previous year

– 1,810,844 pages turned, representing a 7.0% increase year-over-year

– Nearly half of all reading activity in 2024 came from newly released titles

– Continued expansion in localized content, with French usage up 1351.4% and strong growth in Russian, Arabic, and German segments

“We’re not just seeing more reading — we’re seeing smarter reading,” added Mishenev. “Families are choosing formats that work for them, and we’re excited to keep building tools that meet their needs.”
