- Billie Burton

"This is the best idea ever!!! No shame.... Just read!! Thank you."

- Rosette Schleifer Roth

"Wow. I wish this organization was around when I was in grade school. All the reading resources that were available when I was a kid had robotic voices which I hated because they were so hard to connect with. The kidsread2kids videos are SO well done. I am so impressed!! Keep up the amazing work!"

- Erica Eps

“This is an amazing resource thank you my 8 year old son has Dyslexia and APD and long audio books are hard for him. Your short chapters give him the ability to go back easily if he misses something. THANK YOU”

- Sharon Scurr
