Apart from the fact that kids love listening to great stories, audiobooks are a proven resource for teaching reading, at all reading levels, which is why they've been used in classrooms for decades. Among many the benefits, listening builds critical vocabulary, comprehension, fluency and listening skills; in fact, adding a listening component to reading instruction has been shown to improve student achievement. Instructional methods such as The Daily 5 do just that, and the Common Core Standards spell out specific listening requirements by grade level.

Tales2Go is great for family road trips, for commuting to and from school and even during bathtime or bedtime—after you've read to your kids! Also check out our learning resources area for fun games and activities to do with your kids while listening to books and stories on Tales2Go.

Read What Folks Are Saying About Tales2Go

The Wonder of Tech - Comment from Joe

The Tales2Go app is simply great... There’s something magical about hearing a story rather than seeing it – it allows your imagination to paint the story on a canvas bigger than any big screen TV can... (Read the comment and review.)

Matt Lauer and Sarah Picard Taylor for The Today Show:

"They are never too old to read aloud. ... Audio stories are a great option ... A great way to incorporate reading into your summer travel." (Watch the video of the Tales2Go creators, and parents Tracey and William Weil, discuss Tales2Go.)

Melissa Hucal for Macaroni Kid:

"Reading with my kids is a priority for me. And, because I find it so important to instill a love of reading in my boys, it’s hard for me to say "no" to the "just one more story" plea, no matter how close I am to losing my voice. Tales2Go to the rescue!" (Read the rest of the review.)

Jen Leo for Conde Nast Traveler's Best Travel Apps for Kids:

"Stop the kids from fighting over your device and turn on an audio story for the long road trip. There are more than 1,700 stories divided into age-appropriate categories for 3+, 5+, 7+, 9+, and preteen kids in Tales2Go." (Read the rest of the review.)

Jyl Johnson Pattee for Mom It Forward:

"Think about all the different times your kid will use this (solving mommy sanity issues)!" (Read the rest of the review.)
