StoryWeaver (Pratham Books)

What it actually is

Pratham Books' open library holds tens of thousands of illustrated stories graded Level 1 to Level 4, with a very large Hindi collection — the closest thing Hindi has to graded readers, and all of it free to read online or download as PDF. Filter by language and level and you have months of extensive reading at genuine beginner difficulty. The content is written for children, so topics and register skew young, and the site covers many Indian languages, not Hindi alone.
