Storytime

you don't
have the energy

Two reading modes
'Read to me' when you're tired. 'I'll read myself' when you have the energy to do it together. You can always switch easily between them.
Natural narrator voice
Not a robot voice. Flipr reads with variation, pauses, and emotion – just like you would yourself.
Tailored language levels
The language meets the child where they are. For 3-year-olds, the vocabulary is simpler; for 9-year-olds, it's more nuanced.
Vocabulary boost
Personalized stories with varied language provide more new words – and the child remembers them better.
Why is reading aloud so important?
Children who are read to regularly develop better language skills, a larger vocabulary, and stronger concentration. They also perform better in school later on. This isn't news – but it's easy to forget in the daily grind when you come home tired from work.
Flipr isn't an alternative to you reading aloud – it's a helper that removes the barrier. When you have the energy, read together. When you don't, let Flipr tell the story while you listen along (or fall asleep next to them).
The most important thing is the rhythm: making reading aloud part of your daily routine. When it's easy, it happens more often. When it happens more often, the whole family wins.

Frequently asked questions about storytime
Does Flipr replace my own reading aloud?
No – Flipr is a helper. Your voice and presence are still most important. But on those nights when you're completely worn out, Flipr ensures that storytime still happens.
At what age does reading aloud start making sense?
Right from the baby stage, but the personalized stories in Flipr are built for children aged 3 to 10. The language levels adjust automatically as they grow.
How much daily reading time is recommended?
Research points to 15-20 minutes daily as a strong goal. You can easily achieve this with a short Flipr story at bedtime, and perhaps another in the afternoon.
What makes Flipr different from an audiobook?
Audiobooks are the same for every child. Flipr creates a new story where your child is the hero every single time. This significantly increases engagement – and the child remembers far more.
