The Reading Corner is an app for all children aged zero to ten. We believe that every child deserves to be read to for at least fifteen minutes every day. We currently offer over 2000 story time videos in multiple languages, with new titles being added every week. Each video brings the story to life with enchanting classical music and beautiful illustrations taken from the book. Aside from English and Spanish, we also have story time videos in Dutch, Arabic, Turkish and Polish.
