Speakaboos Debuts Online Children’s Website Features Favorite Hits Characters and Storybook Classics Read by Celebrities
All Titles Available for Immediate Viewing or Download: With Stories Read by Famous Voices Including Nick Cannon, Kelly Ripa, Kevin Bacon and Talent from The Creative Coalition
Speakaboos (www.Speakaboos.com) today launched its online children’s library, featuring storybook videos of well-known children’s stories read by some of the leading voices in entertainment and members of the nonprofit advocacy organization, The Creative Coalition. The site debuted in beta, and already offers over 35 titles with audio provided by talented actors and musicians such as Kevin Bacon, Nick Cannon, Kelly Ripa, Kerry Washington, Marcia Gay Harden, Harry Shearer and Chazz Palminteri. The titles, including Arthur, Goldilocks, The Ugly Duckling, Old McDonald and Aesop’s Fables are available for immediate viewing online for free, and can also be downloaded for offline viewing and on portable media devices, with at least fifteen percent of revenue contributed directly to the National Education Association (NEA) to support children’s literacy and The Creative Coalition (TCC).
With an additional 30 titles expected before the end of the year, Speakaboos will provide a safe, fun and educational online destination for children and parents alike. For children, each story is accompanied by educational activities, games and contests that they can play alongside their parents. Parents and teachers enjoy story guides, lesson plans based on national education standards, community content and resources that reinforce the educational lessons at home and in the classroom.
“Our aim is to reinvigorate the art of storytelling by combining the traditional reading experience with technology and entertainment,” said Noelle Millholt, Associate Publisher of Speakaboos. “We’ve seen a very passionate response from celebrities who are readily willing to participate, and we’re thrilled to be able to back our commitment to education by providing a portion of the proceeds from every title to the National Education Association and The Creative Coalition.”
The National Education Association is the nation’s leading organization committed to advancing the cause of public education. NEA has 3.2 million members who work at every level of education, from pre-school to graduate programs.
The Creative Coalition is the premier nonprofit, nonpartisan social and political advocacy organization of the entertainment industry. TCC educates and mobilizes leaders in the arts community on issues of public importance, specifically in the areas of First Amendment rights, arts advocacy, and public education.
“We are thrilled that Speakaboos has chosen to support The Creative Coalition,” said Robin Bronk, Executive Director of The Creative Coalition. “We are excited to work on this project that utilizes the power of the internet to serve as an educational resource for children and their families. It’s a terrific example of how technology enhances the learning process.”
The entire Speakaboos library is available for viewing online for free on Speakaboos.com and available for download at $0.99 per title. Select titles that are combined into albums are available for the price of $8.99 per album.
