About Read Listen Draw
Read Listen Draw creates thoughtfully designed story packs that bring together read-aloud audio, printable colouring pages, and kid-friendly ebooks — all in one simple, screen-light experience.
We believe stories are even more powerful when children can listen, see, and create at the same time. That’s why every pack is built to support imagination, early literacy, and quiet, focused play.
What Is a Story Pack?
Each Read Listen Draw story pack includes:
- A read-aloud audio story (MP3)
- A printable colouring or activity page
- A simple ebook version for shared reading
Families can listen together at bedtime, during quiet time, or in the car. Teachers can use the packs in classrooms, reading corners, or small-group activities. Kids can colour while they listen — or come back to the story again and again.
Designed for Families and Classrooms
Our content is created with parents, carers, and educators in mind. Story packs work well for:
- Home reading and bedtime routines
- Classroom read-aloud sessions
- Homeschool and learning-at-home environments
- Libraries, OSHC, and childcare settings
All packs are licensed for personal and classroom use, making them easy to use with children without complicated permissions or logins.
Region-Aware Spelling
We know spelling matters — especially when children are learning to read and write. That’s why many of our stories are available in multiple regional versions.
You can choose the version that matches your local spelling conventions (such as US or UK/Australian spelling), helping kids build confidence and consistency as they learn.
Screen-Light by Design
Read Listen Draw is intentionally designed to reduce screen time. While our content is delivered digitally, the experience encourages listening, drawing, colouring, and shared reading away from devices.
Who We’re For
Read Listen Draw is a great fit if you’re looking for:
- Calm, engaging stories that work for bedtime, quiet time, or transitions
- Early literacy support through listening + reading + re-telling
- Printable creative activities that keep hands busy and minds focused
- Classroom-ready resources for read-aloud, rotations, or fast finisher time
- Simple downloads with no complicated accounts or apps required
Who We’re Not For
We try to be clear about what we are (and aren’t), so families and educators know what to expect. Read Listen Draw might not be the best match if you’re after:
- High-intensity, fast-paced entertainment (we aim for calm and cosy)
- Full curriculum programs with assessments, grading, or lesson plans for every pack
- Unlimited commercial reuse (our files are for personal and classroom use, not resale)
- Device-first experiences (we’re designed to be screen-light)
Use in Your Classroom
If you’re an educator, we’d love to make your day easier. Read Listen Draw packs are designed to be print-and-go and flexible across ages and settings.
Here are a few simple ways teachers use them:
- Morning calm time: play the audio while students colour
- Reading groups: use the ebook for shared reading, then discuss characters and sequence
- Writing prompts: “Draw your favourite part” or “Retell the story in 3 sentences”
- Fast finishers: keep a small stack of colouring pages ready
- Relief/sub plans: a low-prep activity that still feels meaningful
Tip: Choose your region version (US or UK/AU spelling) so classroom language matches what students learn.
