Did you know that reading aloud to children helps stimulate brain development, yet only 50% of infants and toddlers are routinely read to by their parents?

The best part is that pretty much any MobiStory can be viewed by children of any age 2 – 8, as the kids don’t have to be of reading age to enjoy the stories with sound effects and music. And as long as they’re watching, they’re starting to recognize the words that appear on the page as they’re being read to. There’s nothing like edutainment! But, shhh! Don’t tell the kids!

“I thought they had a wide variety of stories available and in fact it took us about 2 hours to decide what we would download. They can be downloaded to an ipod or mp3 player to name a few options. This would make a great boredom buster for the little ones in the backseat as you travel “over the river and through the woods…”

“I’ve got to tell you this is an awesome idea! What I liked about Mobistories is that, rather than just presenting another movie format, it looks like you are reading a book. They start with a front cover and end with a back cover. The “pages” are turned, so it looks like reading a book. The words are printed, as well as read aloud. This re-enforces the words for the child who is reading along.”
