I’m excited to share a reading app with you called Speakaboos, and I’m giving away 3 FREE 1-year subscriptions worth $69.99 each (see below)!
Kids will #ChooseReading with the Engaging Speakaboos Reading App
Speakaboos is the reading app for kids 2-6 that turns screen time into reading time. With over 200 stories — both well known picture books and stories that Speakaboos developed — kids can read along with an engaging animated version of the book.
The words light up as the words are read aloud and this helps teach kids to learn how to read! It’s not surprising that this literacy app is well thought out. Speakaboos is developed by renowned educational media experts including Dr. Alice Wilder, Chief Learning Officer for Speakaboos and one of the world’s leading authorities on literacy through media. You might know her through her popular TV shows Blue’s Clues and Super WHY!
More Than Just Another Reading App or Empty Screen Time
With Speakaboos, Dr. Wilder brings her expertise in literacy to educational apps. Just as Blue’s Clues transformed kids’ educational television programming, Speakaboos rethinks and approaches kids’ mobile screen time with engaging and highly interactive educational digital stories.
Why is it important to #ChooseReading? An early love of reading creates life-long readers. Reading is the foundation of learning and sets kids up for success academically and later in life.
The Speakaboos Library: Over 200 Stories with High Interest Topics & Characters

BEST #OWNVOICES CHILDREN’S BOOKS: My Favorite Diversity Books for Kids Ages 1-12 is a book that I created to highlight books written by authors who share the same marginalized identity as the characters in their books.
Thanks for the introduction to Speakaboos. Looks like you can be in charge of what they read. Wish I had young children.
Hi Patricia,
I’m glad you like Speakaboos! You can use it for grandchildren too!
I love that they have well-known books – most reading apps don’t!
