Pronounced Mee-Mee Tales… MeMeTales is a reading tool for kids.
And it is *say it with me*… AWESOME.
It is available on the web, iPhone and iPod… and soon to be released on the iPad! MeMeTales is a place children can go to read books, and even print them off!
Our last day of school is just days. The closer we get to summer break, the more frantically I look for educational activities to have available for the kids while they are at home for break. Of course MeMeTales is not a tool to use only in the summer months, but… it is DEFINITELY a superb summer resource.
I am sharing MeMeTales with you from a parent’s perspective, but this program is also built as a space for authors to share their books, illustrators to share their art, and is an excellent resource for educators.
My Lucy (6) LOVES MeMeTales. Â My iPhone is how she likes to get her reading on. She likes to scroll through book choices:
Lucy loves to choose her own book and choose whether to read it herself or have it read to her.
She loves the pictures, and the read-over voices are so expressive and fun to listen to!
When a child reads a book, they receive points… which work toward earning badges and even games!
I love MeMeTales. There are many book choices, some for purchase.. some free! And if one’s child gets inspired to write and illustrate their own book – they can do it on Memetales.
Parents. Educators. Aspiring authors… check out MeMeTales. It is excellent. I give it my highest recommendation.
How about a little MeMeTales giveaway? MeMeTales is giving a gift bag of 5 picture books to celebrate their launch and success. They want kids to read as much as they possibly can – while having as much fun as they possibly can!!!

*Disclosure: I was neither paid nor compensated to write this. Maya Bisineer is a good friend and brilliant woman with a passion for literacy. I am sharing this because I love this app, Lucy loves this app and I believe it is an excellent supplement to helping one’s children not only learn to read, but learn to love to read.*
