Speakaboos (www.speakaboos.com) is a digital storybook platform that motivates children ages 2 - 6 to read, explore, and discover stories they love based on their interests. Our custom and ever-growing library is designed around high-interest categories that feature stories with rich illustrations, animated characters, and touchscreen interactions that bring favorite and new stories to life, support comprehension and keep children engaged while learning. Speakaboos can be enjoyed on computers, tablets, or mobile devices at home, on the go, in schools, or in libraries. Speakaboos has built one of the largest catalogs of children’s interactive story books in partnership with publishers, content owners, authors and illustrators such as Jim Henson, Mattel, Scholastic, Abrams, Charlesbridge, and Penguin. Over 1MM consumers enjoy Speakaboos content across online, mobile, tablet and classroom platforms and subscribers spend 22 minutes per session and read over 50 stories per month on the service. Speakaboos was named “one of the great websites” by the American Library Association, received an A+ from Education World and has been described as an “impressive”, “indispensable” and “valuable” resource for literacy by Parenting, Kidscreen and Publisher’s Weekly.
