Aloud delivers 4 hand-picked books a month for ages 4–5. You read aloud. We make it effortless for you — with prompts, pronunciation tips, and a simple 10-minute daily routine.
🔒 Pilot limited to 25 families. No app needed.
Simple by design
A curated set of 4 age-right books arrives at your door in a reusable Aloud bag. New titles every month.
You — the parent or caretaker — read to your child. No screen. No audio track. Just your voice and the book.
Each book comes with a simple read-aloud card: key words, a question to ask, and a pronunciation tip. Takes 10 minutes.
When the month ends, swap the books back in the same bag. Get 4 fresh ones. Your child builds a habit, not a pile.
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." — Albert Einstein
What's in the bag
Every title is chosen for age-fit, language richness, and read-aloud joy — for both child and adult.
Sound-rich elephant tale. Perfect for dramatic voices.
A grandmother-grandchild story. Builds emotional vocabulary.
Funny everyday mystery. Children guess and laugh along.
Nature wonder. Simple sentences, big visual curiosity.
Music and rhythm. A book that wants to be sung, not just read.
Festival excitement. Familiar context, new English words.
Poetic, imaginative. Opens conversations about nature.
Award-winning environment story. Teaches patience and care.
Books rotate every month. You will never get the same set twice in a year.
Right fit check
You speak Hindi or a regional language at home but want your child to grow up comfortable in English — without pressure or screens.
You can give 10 minutes most evenings. That's genuinely enough. Aloud is designed for real Indian family schedules, not ideal ones.
You remember a story someone read to you. You want to give that gift to your child — and Aloud helps you do it confidently.
Aloud is not right for you if you're looking for an app, a passive audio experience, or content that works without a caretaker being present. The whole point is your voice.
From the founder
"I'm Surendra. I live in Siwani and I'm the father of twin 3-year-old boys. I watched them gravitating toward screens and I wanted to change that — not with guilt, but with something better. That's why I built Aloud. It's not a product for parents who read to their kids already. It's for the rest of us."

Questions answered
Absolutely yes. Many of our founding families speak Hindi at home. Every book comes with a simple guide card — key words, a short pronunciation note, and questions to ask your child. You don't need perfect English. You just need to be present.
Minor wear and tear is expected and covered. For significant damage or loss, we charge a simple replacement fee based on the book's cost. We'll always tell you upfront.
Not in detail, but you can tell us your child's interests and we'll consider that when curating. Founding Family members get priority input into their book selections.
We deliver 4 books in a reusable Aloud bag. At the end of the month, we schedule a pickup (or you can drop off at a nearby point). The whole thing is designed to fit around your schedule.
No app needed. Everything runs on WhatsApp — delivery updates, support, read-aloud tips, and swap coordination. If you have WhatsApp, you're ready.
The pilot is currently designed for 4–5 year olds. However, if your child turns 4 soon, fill out the form and we'll add you to the early list. We'll be expanding the age range after the pilot.
