We make it easy to find and schedule an available time to read to a class. We also allow you to pick what book you’d like to read when it’s your turn to volunteer!

Enjoy story time together!

While most volunteer sessions last about 10 minutes, you’ll have plenty of time to read, answer questions, and chat with your little one and their classmates.

“My class loves BookChatting with our volunteers! The students really pay attention and it takes their learning and education to a new level.”

Guest reader FAQ

Do teachers/volunteers have to pay to participate?

The Guest Reader Program is FREE for teachers and their volunteers. Teachers will receive a free Gold Plan account ($120/year value), and volunteers will have a Freemium account. This means volunteers can read any book in our library when BookChatting with a class, but they'll be limited to 5 free books per week when using Readeo on their own. Teacher accounts have no such restrictions.

Can I read to a class using a phone or tablet?

Yes! Readeo is available on most phones, tablets, and computers through our website (readeo.com), or by downloading our app from the iOS or Google Play app stores.

What grades or age ranges is this program best for?

Readeo has books for children of all ages (0–11), but the Guest Reader Program is best suited for children in Pre-K – 4th Grade. Readeo is great for children in daycare, Montessori, charter, and private schools as well!

Can I use Readeo at home outside the classroom?

Yes! All you need is a high-speed internet connection and a web cam to connect with friends and family using Readeo.
