Screen-Free Read-Along Audiobooks
Birde helps your child learn to read
Most children’s audio products are designed for listening instead of reading.
Birde is designed to support reading. Children listen to the story while following along in a real book, with audio played aloud through a shared speaker.
Tap & Play
Each Read-Along book uses Tap & Play - one simple tap starts the audio instantly, with no screens or menus.
Safe & Childproof
A washable speaker with gentle, child-appropriate volume. No screens, headphones or earbuds required.
Music & More
Birde also includes music and audio seeds for dancing, play and calm time. One system that grows with your child.
Why Read-Along books help children learn to read
Literacy research shows children understand more when listening and reading happen together.
Less frustration
Listening reduces the effort needed to sound out every word, so reading feels calmer and more achievable.
Better understanding
Children can focus on the story, characters, and meaning - not the mechanics of reading.
Stronger word recognition
Seeing words while hearing them helps children form stronger word memories over time.
