Learn to read मराठी
From sounds to words — आवाजापासून शब्दापर्यंत. Your child hears a sound in words they know, meets the letter, writes it in a notebook with you beside them, and soon reads real words.
From sounds to words — आवाजापासून शब्दापर्यंत. Your child hears a sound in words they know, meets the letter, writes it in a notebook with you beside them, and soon reads real words.
The order Maharashtra's own Std 1 book uses — sound before shape, shape before writing, and real words as soon as the letters allow.
Which pictures have “म”? मका, मोर, माती — the sound comes first, in words the child already knows.
The letter gets its own page, with new pictures — so it feels like a new friend, not a quiz.
Watch the strokes, one by one, then write it in a real notebook. A parent checks it — that's the one job a screen can't do.
As soon as the letters allow it — काका, मामा, कमळ — the child builds and reads real words, 156 of them.
A 4-year-old can't learn to read alone, and shouldn't have to. AksharPakharu gives you small, clear jobs.
After each letter, look at what your child wrote and tap “छान लिहिलं” or “पुन्हा लिहूया”.
At each milestone your child reads a new word aloud to you — and the tree on the path grows.
A little every day beats an hour on Sunday. The app brings back old letters by itself, just before they're forgotten.
The Parent Zone shows what's going well and what needs practice — behind a question only a grown-up can answer.
Children forget a new letter within days unless they meet it again. So every session starts with a quick warm-up of letters that are due — the app works out which.
The same stroke order the app teaches — numbered, with letters to trace and lines to write on. Print one, or all 42.
AksharPakharu works fully offline. It never asks for an account, shows no ads and collects no data. Progress is stored only on your device.
Yes. The app follows the order Maharashtra's Std 1 book uses, but it is for every Marathi family — whatever board your child's school follows. Where families write a letter differently from the book, we follow what parents are used to.
Yes — choose English when the app starts. Instructions are then spoken in that language, and every Marathi word is followed by its meaning. The app always teaches Marathi.
The app shows how to write each letter, stroke by stroke; the real writing happens in a notebook, with you checking it. Pencil and paper build the hand skills that tapping a screen can't.
The first reading words — काका, मामा, मका — come right after the first five letters and the काना. Every child's pace is different; 10 minutes a day, every day, matters far more than long sessions.
Yes. No ads, no purchases inside the app.
