About the app

Whole World Kids is specifically designed for young children to use. Using simple controls, they can browse stories, select and play stories, and mark their favorites. Settings are password protected so young users cannot access anything but the stories.

Early exposure to a second language helps children learn it later in life. When they hear the words and sounds of another language early, it builds their ability to recognize and imitate those sounds. We also know that some of our listeners will be native English speakers learning Spanish, and vice versa. That's why we love the idea of offering stories that are not only fun and easy to listen to, but also help them get better at speaking their second language.

The app includes 80 engaging stories for children ages 3–10, and every one is now unlocked. Story categories include animals, adventure, fantasy, and more! Stories are offered in English and Spanish.

While listening to a story, kids or guardians can mark it as a “Favorite” by tapping the thumbs-up symbol. When tapped, the symbol turns red to show it’s now a “Favorite”. Favorited stories appear in both the “Favorites” category and their original category. To remove a story from Favorites, just tap the red thumbs-up again.
