Awesome Reading App for Kids + Giveaway!

by Angela Thayer 31 Comments

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Speakaboos.  All opinions are my own.

I’m really excited to share with you an awesome reading app for kids that we just discovered! Speakaboos is the reading app for kids ages 2-6 that turns screen time into reading time. If your kids are like mine, they LOVE screen time. We limit screen time at our house, but I do let them play educational games. This app is one that I feel great about because it encourages my children to read!

Awesome Reading App for Kids
Have you heard of Speakaboos before? Let me tell you a few of my favorite things about this app:

  1. Speakaboos contains over 200 stories! They have these options while reading: Read to Me, Read & Play, and Read it Myself.
  2. The stories in each categories have awesome illustrations, animated characters, and touchscreen interactions that bring favorite and new stories to life.
  3. Speakaboos has popular characters kids love such as Sesame Street, Thomas & Friends, Sid the Science Kid, Angelina Ballerina and more.
  4. Unlike many other entertaining apps and websites, Speakaboos is available offline! Kids can enjoy their favorite stories and read any time, anywhere. (This is awesome for car rides or on the airplane!)
  5. This app really motivates children to read. There are well-loved children’s books (ie. Where the Wild Things Are) as well as cute original stories!

My kids really love this app! It didn’t take long for them to fall in love with it. We can play it on our iPad or on the computer.

My 4-year-old and 6-year-old loved the app. We laughed so hard on some of the stories and they thought it’s awesome to read these stories!

This app is designed to motivate children to read anytime or anywhere! Speakaboos can be used on computers, tablets or mobile devices. Speakaboos is available to download for mobile devices though iTunes for iOS, Google Play for Android and Speakaboos.com for the web.

Download Speakaboos today and the next time your child engages in screen time, they’ll #ChooseReading.

Speakaboos is free to download and offers a 7 day free trial for all users. Click here to start your free trial. After the trial you can choose from a monthly or yearly subscription for unlimited access.

Also, they are offering an exclusive discount for Teaching Mama readers. Click here to receive 30% off your monthly or yearly subscription today! Use the code teachingmama.

    We’ve got three girls, 1, 4, and 5. I haven’t used technology in teaching them to read so far, but I’d love to give this a try!

    As a bilingual teacher, many of my kiddos don’t have internet access- this would provide additional reading opportunities, and an extra resource 🙂

    I run a home daycare and part of my curriculum includes preschool learning for my 3-5 year olds. I’m always on the lookout for a new way to teach them and keep them engaged!

    I’d love to win a subscription for my 2 yr old. I’m going to start homeschooling him this fall, my husband works a lot of hours, and we are far away from family so iPad is he only downtime I get some days. It’d be lovely to have an educational app like this!

    I have a four year old who refuses to try to read, but she likes to be on the computer. I think this would help us both.

    We would love to use this for our 5yo and twin 3yo as one just started to read and the other two are working on letter sounds but love to be read to. This looks like a balanced approach to reading with fun and technology.

    Will be moving grade level next school year and this app would be a GREAT addition for my students who are starting out learning to read. Hoping that this would also help my struggling readers, as well as students that are on their way independently.
