About Rill Finds Echo
Rill the cricket searches the backyard for the best place to sing his first evening song. He tests ripples by the puddle, booms in the log, sway on the leaf bridge, and wide sky on the hill, before shade, echo, and friends lead him to a glowing stone-ring concert.

How to read it together
Start at the right level
Level 1 is single words for early talkers. Level 2 is short phrases. Level 3 is full storybook sentences. Switch any time, even mid-scene — the art stays put and only the language changes.
Let them find the words
Two glowing spots hide in every scene. Tap one, hear the word, then pause and wait — the wait is where your child's turn happens.
Session-ready
Therapist mode mutes the narration and lays out each scene's target words with their speech-sound tags, so a clinician models and elicits every word live.
