PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As parents and caregivers seek reading resources for children as they head back to school, global branded payments provider Blackhawk Network and Vooks, the world's first ad-free SVOD streaming platform bringing children's storybooks to life through animation and read-along narration, have teamed up to expand the streaming platform's digital gift card program, making it easy to give the gift of reading. The partnership leverages Blackhawk's expansive network to make Vooks' digital gift cards available on Giftcards.com, Giftcardmall.com and in select online gift card malls at leading retailers nationwide.
As entertaining as it is educational, Vooks' signature selection of engaging animated video books is the perfect gift for young readers—whether they are preparing to make the jump from one grade to another, looking to improve their reading scores and comprehension, or simply eager to experience the fun and interactive storytelling that only Vooks can provide. For $49.99, each digital gift card gives users access to a one-year subscription to Vooks' expansive library, including popular titles like the Kate Winslet-narrated tale, "And The People Stayed Home" in addition to iconic favorites such as "Curious George," "Slumberkins," "Cinderella," and many more.
"Vooks is committed to helping young readers strive—giving them the necessary tools to improve their reading skills and prepare for future learning, while encouraging them to expand their imaginations as they enjoy a wide variety of popular titles," said Marshall Bex, Vooks co-founder. "We believe that reading is for everyone, and it is our hope that our partnership with Blackhawk will help make Vooks' content more accessible than ever before, setting young readers up for continued success with an invaluable gift that will truly last a lifetime."
