It can be hard to foster cherished memories between your child and her out-of-town grandparents. This is why Coby Nuenschwander from Chicago created Readeo’s BookChat.
Readeo is a web application that allows people to connect from everywhere there is a internet connection. The partnership between Readeo and ooVoo, a New York-based company that provides high-quality video communication services, allows families to have video chats while reading story books searchable by age, gender and subject mater.
Readeo, powered by ooVoo, has a moderate library stocked with wonderfully digitalized picture books from Blue Apple Books, Candlewick Press, Chronicle Books and Simon and Schuster.
It costs $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year to be a member of Readeo. But if a grandparent becomes a member, grandchildren can connect to their grandparent for free by signing up for a guest account.
More information about how Readeo works is available online.
