I’ve noticed that even though I can now read each individual Kana, a page of text or even just a single word still just registers as a scribble to me. I know that recognizing words at a glance comes with practice, but I still want to speed the process up. I was wondering if anybody knows of any resources kind of like Real Kana, but instead of showing one Kana it would show a word or a sentence in Hiragana. I was thinking of reading news articles, but then Kanji happened. If anyone has any advice I would be really grateful.
This site was posted by someone awhile back. I don’t know who but it has videos with Hiragana subs.
Another option is to read children’s books because they are mostly written in Hiragana I believe.
Children’s books actually sounds promising… I wonder if I could find any scanned online or something.
I did a fast google and it looked like they had a few sites with children’s books. I think most of them are translated into English though but one site stood out a bit.

Not sure how much it will help though. I never tried to read children’s books.
Thanks for that one, if not for practice then at least entertainment. I’ll check em’ out and see if it’s worth looking more into.
The kids books actually have quite a substantial amount of text (all in Hiragana :D) and a good amount of vocab that’s easy to figure out. Based on what I see I would definitely recommend downloading them if you need practice. Thanks for the good find.
