This document summarizes findings from formative research on a proposed mobile reading program for children in Delhi, India. Interviews with 108 caregivers revealed that while storytelling is common, reading is not typically viewed as an educational activity or joint caregiver-child activity. Caregivers lacked awareness of reading's developmental benefits and best practices. Barriers to reading included lack of time and gender-based restrictions on women's technology access. The research informed program design, such as engaging youth and key influencers to build knowledge, and including preferred content like bilingual, moral-based stories. Considerations for scaling include how attitudes and needs may vary in different contexts.
