Readeo recognized as Official Honoree at 2011 Webby Awards

“Long-distance relationships are difficult enough to maintain among adults, but when young kids are involved, the chances of achieving a meaningful conversation from afar tend to diminish. That’s where Readeo comes in, with a newly launched platform that lets families share bedtime stories through the web.” --Springwise.com(sponsored review)

“Think of it as Skype meets story hour: You see and “turn” pages of the book, and hear and watch sweet Aunt Betty as she recites it. …[This] should get even your most technology-shy grandparents talking.” --Daily Candy Kids, "Goodnight Story 2.0"(sponsored review)

“At home, this site would be fabulous for reading in sync and online (same book) with distant family or friends. At school, it would allow classrooms to share a book with pen pals [...] It would also be an option for logging in books on the nightly reading log. I personally liked being able to read through new titles by the great publishers Readeo is partnered with, and know if I would like them in my own classroom.”--Creative Literacy(sponsored review)

“Pure happiness for many: grandparents and grandkids, a military parent and kids, and any other person who wants to read to a child but has miles in-between them. ”--Fantastic Find(sponsored review)

“As a former military spouse, I would have loved for this to be around a couple years ago when my husband was deployed overseas. It would have been great for my (then) 1 year old to be able to see and hear his Daddy during his bedtime story. I hope that you don’t have to be separated from your loved ones, but if you do, this is a great way to connect and interact while you are away.”--Spoiled but Not Rotten(sponsored review)

“Readeo is a great example of how the Internet can bring people together to share an activity that has traditionally taken place offline but has become more challenging as families are forced to be physically apart.” --Tech Cocktail(sponsored review)

“I can’t stop thinking about all the applications for this wonderful site: Military parents can tuck in their kids at night, grandparents who live far away can choose a favorite bedtime story to tell, divorced parents can share bedtime duties, parents traveling on business don’t have to miss out on a quiet moment with their children. Heck, my kids even like the novelty of sitting on my lap and reading a book on the computer with me, without the webcam at all. ”--Cool Mom Picks(sponsored review)

“He travels. He works late. If he has a Readeo subscription he can still read the kids a bedtime story.”--Design Mom(sponsored review)

“I love that [my son] can now read books with his fellow 2 year old friends! We read a couple of books with a few of his friends and he had a blast! Sometimes I think he was a bit distracted by seeing the other little boy on the screen but at the same time he still was looking at the book and telling his friend about it. It was really cute to watch them together! One of the moms we read with said, “They can’t tear or chew on them!” So very true! This is also a great way for kids to interact with distant grandparents. Being that my husband’s family is half way across the country, the boys don’t get to see Grandma very often. Now she can read a bedtime story with them! This would also be super awesome if a parent was deployed overseas or on business!"--IHaveACoupon(sponsored review)
