The three pillars

An app made for your shared moment.

A library of growth-tuned stories, the option to personalise them, and Dialogic Reading turning reading into dialogue. You are always the storyteller.

Pillar 01

Verified stories

A professionally-crafted library, designed to support your child's milestones: a new sibling, fear of the dark, sharing, big emotions. Ready to read — tonight.

✦ The big one
Pillar 02 · World first

Dialogic Reading

The only app that guides you through Dialogic Reading — the technique backed by 30+ years of research. As you read, the app suggests open-ended questions to ask your child at the right moment: "What do you think the bear is feeling?" "What would you have done?" You ask, they answer, you talk.

  • Educator-validated prompts
  • Builds vocabulary & empathy
  • Co-designed with paediatricians
Pillar 03

Personalised stories

Choose the hero, the educational message (sharing, fear of the dark, managing big feelings…) and the length. A story crafted exactly for the moment your child is going through.

How Dialogic Reading works

You read. They think. You talk.

30+ years of research confirm it: when a parent pauses to ask during reading, vocabulary, narrative comprehension and empathy grow significantly. Kiddo Stories guides you at the right moments — without breaking the magic.

1

You read the story

You are the voice of bedtime — warm, familiar, irreplaceable. The app supports you with cosy illustrations and friendly type. Nothing distracts from your moment.

2

The app suggests a pause

At the right moment, an open-ended question appears — written by educators — inviting your child to think: "Why do you think the fox left the door open?"

3

You listen, they speak

They answer out loud. You listen, expand, comment. More vocabulary, more empathy, more connection — without them knowing they're learning.

A peek inside

Stories made for their growth.

A glimpse into the library — every story is chosen for a specific milestone.

Why Kiddo

Not an app that separates you. A tool that brings you closer.

No automatic narration, no screens that talk — just tools to help you read better with your child.

Made for every milestone

Stories chosen for every moment of growth: a new sibling, fear of the dark, sharing toys, managing emotions. When you need it, it's already there.

True personalisation

Choose hero, educational message and length. The story becomes exactly what they need to hear tonight.

Backed by research

30+ years of studies on dialogic reading. AAP guidelines, meta-analyses on thousands of children, supported by paediatricians and educators. No fads, no toxic engagement.

Private & ad-free

No tracking, no ads, no in-app purchases marketed to kids. Your child's data stays on your device.

No, never. You always read — your voice, your rhythm, your moment. Kiddo Stories gives you stories to read and guides you with Dialogic Reading prompts. The AI is a tool for you, never a replacement for the parent.

A technique based on 30+ years of research: during reading, the parent asks open-ended questions to spark thinking and language. Studies (including AAP guidelines and meta-analyses on thousands of children) show significant gains in vocabulary, narrative comprehension, empathy and family bonding. Kiddo Stories is the first app in the world to guide you through it automatically.

Ages 3–9. Vocabulary, story length and themes adjust to your child's age. Ages 3–7 is when dialogic reading has the strongest impact on development.

Always. We never sell or share data. Profiles stay on your device, stories generate via end-to-end encrypted API calls, and we follow COPPA & GDPR-K guidelines.

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. Family Plan lets up to 4 grown-ups read the same kiddo's stories. Coming soon: distant parents will be able to record their own voice to accompany the reading.

Tonight's bedtime is waiting for you both.
