Mobile App: Making Any Time Story Time

Reading a story at bedtime is a wonderful way to help kids relax and prepare for sleep. With K¹²’s new Read Aloud Classics mobile app for iPad and Android, kids can read or be read to at any time of day.

K¹² Read Aloud Classics is an app version of our beautifully illustrated K¹² Read Aloud Treasury book created for the Language Arts program. Readers can listen along or read to themselves from brightly illustrated stories, poems, and plays like Little Red Riding Hood, The Wheels on the Bus, and Jack and the Beanstalk.

Features:

36 Classic stories, poems, and plays with full-color illustrations
Automatic book marking
