# Product updates | 2025-06-16

## This release brings big improvements to the student experience in the Reading App – with a new navigation, a smarter start and completely redesigned avatars that make the app more inclusive and personal for all ages.

- 🚀 Students now land directly on **My Reading** – making it easier to pick up where they left off
- 🧑‍🎨 **Avatars are now fully customisable** – with over 14 million combinations
- ⭐ Students who choose an older avatar see their progress with **stars instead of animals**
- ⚙️ A new **preferences menu** gives access to language and interest settings and the **Log out** button

---

### 🆕 My Reading as the starting point

*My Reading* is now the landing page where students can track their progress and access all their personalised content – including books in progress, teacher recommendations, level-based suggestions and assigned fluency practice.

### 🧑‍🎨 New avatars with 14 million+ combinations

Students can now design their own avatar by choosing from:

- **77 shirts**, **112 hairstyles**, **5 skin tones**, **7 backgrounds**, **8 hijab options** (or none) and **6 glasses options** (or none)
- They can also choose between **younger and older face styles**
- Avatars can be updated anytime by clicking the **✏️ pen icon** in the profile

### ⭐ Age-appropriate progress with star levels

Students who choose an **older avatar** will see **star icons** instead of animals to mark their reading levels – offering a more mature look and feel.

The new level display also clearly shows **how far they’ve come** and **how much is left** to reach the next level, making progress easier to follow and more motivating.

- **Language settings**
- **Reading interest selections**
- The **Log out** button
