Executive Director for Page Ahead, Susan Dibble, is excited to collaborate with iReadandLearn.com and affirms,  “Reading is the skill on which all others are based, and giving at-risk children the tools and inspiration to read is our mission here at Page Ahead”. Dibble adds, “Being a part of iMotherGoose is so exciting for us because parents are buying an application that gives their kids a portable library while ultimately helping to put a book in the hands of a child who needs one.”

iReadandLearn.com develops iPhone applications for children and has over 20 titles that are both entertaining and educational, priced at .99 cents each.  Rich Foreman, founder and creator of iReadandLearn.com explains, “Our stories and educational tools are narrated so it makes learning interactive and interesting and we find that kids really like to engage with this format.” He adds, “We support other charitable organizations as well and are excited to collaborate with Page Ahead and Team Read because these organizations align with iReadandLearn’s vision to encourage children to read.”
