App Description

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF STORIA
Working in close collaboration with the reading experts at Scholastic, Storia is a FREE teacher-recommended eReading App designed to engage kids of all ages and reading levels. Storia's exciting digital experience offers fun, age-appropriate learning activities along with a growing collection of the just-right titles kids love, from the award-winning authors they want to read.

With an Editor's Choice Award from the Children's Technology Review, Storia allows parents and teachers to set up personalized bookshelves for assigning the new eBooks they purchase, and for easily following a child's reading progress by tracking the books he or she reads and their time spent reading.

INCLUDES 5 FREE eBOOKS
Each FREE Storia download includes 5 FREE eBooks to help discover and enjoy the dynamic features of the Storia eReading experience.

FAVORITE TITLES, SELECTED BY THE EXPERTS
Storia offers thousands of highly-curated titles, from vibrant picture eBooks for younger readers to the hottest new series for older readers. Storia's digital library includes fiction and nonfiction titles by both new and established authors—and the list is growing all the time.

READ-TO-ME eBOOKS
Storia Read-to-Me eBooks feature expressive readings complemented with music, sound effects, and highlighted text children can follow for an engaging experience that builds reading confidence even as it entertains.

ENRICHED STORIA eBOOKS
Fiction and nonfiction Storia titles come to life through fun, age-appropriate learning activities that help build reading comprehension and retention at every age and reading level. Enriched Storia eBooks offer an array of activities to engage and fortify a child's reading, from word games and puzzles to quizzes and exclusive author interviews.

BUILD VOCABULARY WITH THE STORIA DICTIONARY
In every Storia eBook, the dictionary helps readers understand the bigger words—without interrupting the story. A child simply touch or highlight a word while reading and the Storia Dictionary instantly offers age-appropriate definitions using words, pictures, and an optional natural-voice read-aloud.

PARENT TOOLS AND READING REPORTS
Using Storia Parent Tools, parents and teachers can assign purchased eBooks to individual bookshelves which can be personalized to each child's interests and abilities and ensure age- and level-appropriate reading for everyone―even when using a shared device. Reading Reports help parents and teachers better follow a child's reading habits and interests by keeping track of the titles he or she reads, their time spent with each eBook, and the last 10 words they look up in the Storia Dictionary.

TRUSTED CONTENT AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT
Storia is an eReading experience designed for kids. Storia is their place—to be inspired, to make discoveries, and to fall in love with reading. All Storia eBooks are carefully curated by the Scholastic reading experts to match each child’s reading level while supporting his or her ongoing reading progress. With the Storia app, there are no worries about children accessing outside content or purchasing books without the knowledge of a consenting adult.
