Listen to a Story

Children love to listen to stories. Reading to children is considered the best way to prepare young children for learning to read but sometimes we need just a few minutes to get something else done. MobiStories read stories to your children for you.

Each of the stories are written by well known authors. The large print is shown in small chunks for easy recognition. Children can begin to learn to read from watching and listening to these downloadable books.
