He listens word by word, repeats what he needs and works towards the daily goal. You set the goals and rewards, follow his progress and confirm what he has mastered.
Set rewards, see progress, and confirm what he has mastered.

Sample boy – Parshas Bereishis
Rabbi Sabbah’s recording of his Parsha is matched to the Hebrew text word by word. While he listens, the word being read is highlighted, so he always knows exactly where he is and how it should sound.
He sees only his Parsha, read in the nusach your family follows: Chabad, Ashkenaz, Sephardi Moroccan or Sephardi Yerushalmi. No searching, no wrong version, no distractions.
Tricky spots get fixed instead of rushed past. He can loop a single word, or a whole pasuk, until it flows. This is how real practice happens.
A speed control lets him start slowly while he is learning the words, then bring it back up to normal speed as he gets confident.
He can read with nekudos and trop, hide the trop, or switch to Tikkun view, which looks like the real Torah scroll with no nekudos and no trop. A side-by-side view helps him bridge the two.
You set a daily practice target. A study day counts once he has practised for five minutes, and Shabbat never counts against him or breaks his streak. Steady daily practice beats cramming in the last few weeks.
He earns study-hours badges as he goes (1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 hours) and builds practice streaks of 3, 7, 14 and 30 days. Boys love seeing the numbers grow.
Set a reward that matters to your son, such as a treat, an outing or something he has been asking for, and he earns it by reaching his goals. Less nagging, more motivation.
Once you enter his Bar Mitzvah date, the countdown shows how many days remain. It makes the date real for him, and helps you pace the preparation.
Your parent view shows how much he has practised in the last 7 days, the last 30 days and in total, so you can see at once whether he is on track.
Each Sunday morning you receive a short email with his study streak and the days remaining until his Bar Mitzvah. Nothing is sent on Shabbat.
As he works through his Parsha, you (or Rabbi Sabbah) mark the sections he has truly mastered, so you always know what is solid and what still needs work.
He sees only his own Parsha. Sign-in uses a one-time code emailed to you, so you always know when he is logging in. There is no public feed and no chat.
Nothing to download or install. He opens it in the browser on whatever device is nearest, so practice can happen in the car, at the kitchen table or on a Sunday afternoon.
You can sign in straight away. His Parsha is loaded within 48 hours and you receive an email the moment it is ready.
Kria Studio works on its own. If you ever want a teacher, you can book a 30-minute assessment with Rabbi Sabbah and add live one-on-one lessons.
US$125 one-time setup with the first month free, then US$25 a month. There is no contract, and you can cancel at any time.
For the first three months of preparing for our son’s Bar Mitzvah, we really struggled. Getting him to practise every day was a constant battle, and finding the time to sit with him was difficult. Then we discovered Kria Studio, and it honestly saved the day! He could listen, practise and follow along independently, and suddenly the whole process became so much easier. Less nagging, less stress and so much more progress. I only wish we’d found it sooner!

Kria Studio has been absolutely amazing! The improvement in our son’s reading has been incredible. Previously, he would learn something with his teacher and then struggle to remember it during the week. With Kria Studio, he can go back, listen to the correct tune and practise as often as he needs. He arrives at each lesson so much better prepared, and his confidence has grown tremendously.

Between school, homework and everything else, finding time to help our son practise was becoming quite stressful. Kria Studio gave him the ability to practise on his own, at his own pace, without needing one of us beside him every evening. What used to feel like another daily chore has become something he can manage himself. A fantastic resource for any Bar Mitzvah family!
Sarah Levy · London, UK
Our son was initially quite nervous about learning his Bar Mitzvah reading. Kria Studio changed that. He could listen to the words repeatedly, practise difficult sections and improve without feeling pressured. Watching him become more confident each week has been wonderful. He now feels genuinely excited about reading from the Torah!

Living in Singapore, we really appreciated having a reliable way for our son to reinforce what he learnt during his Bar Mitzvah lessons. The word-by-word audio guidance is brilliant, especially for those tricky sections. It gave him the independence to learn properly and gave us peace of mind that he was making real progress.
Rachel Benjamin · Singapore
The biggest challenge wasn’t the actual learning. It was motivating our son to practise consistently between lessons! Kria Studio completely changed the dynamic. He enjoyed being able to work through the reading himself, replay the difficult parts and see how much he was improving. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Kria Studio does not depend on lessons. If you would also like live one-on-one lessons with Rabbi Sabbah, start with a 30-minute assessment.
