Designed by literacy specialists.
Not by app marketers. The pedagogy is the same Science of Reading approach the best schools use — wrapped in something kids actually want to open.
For families
Your window into your child's reading.
Storytime AI is the Science-of-Reading platform your child's school uses for reading practice. When your child's teacher invites you, you get a parent view — so you can follow what they're reading and how they're growing.
Access comes through your child's school — there's no separate family signup yet. If your child's class isn't using Storytime AI, the best first step is to tell their teacher.

What we promise
What every parent deserves from a learning app.
It meets your kid where they are.
The platform finds your kid's level and keeps adapting as they grow — so reading practice is never too easy, then suddenly too hard.
Books your kid actually wants to open.
Storytime AI can create stories where the hero shares your child's name, interests, and looks. Representative books are a proven engagement lever — classrooms that add them see reading time climb about 4 hours per week (First Book, Diverse Books Impact Study). For a reluctant reader, seeing themselves on the page is what turns 'do I have to?' into 'one more chapter.'
Real practice, not infinite scrolling.
Sessions are short, structured, and end on a win. No engagement traps. No dark patterns. Your kid does 15 minutes and closes the tab.
You can see what they're working on.
Once your child's teacher invites you, a parent view shows what your kid is reading, what they're working through, what they've mastered, and what to celebrate.
Private by design.
Your child has no email, no last name, no birthdate in the system. Reading recordings delete automatically after 30 days and are never used to train AI. You can review your child's data, request an export or deletion, or turn off audio recording — through your child's school, which administers the account.
A peek at the library
Books your kid will actually want to finish.
Every book in Storytime AI's library is mapped to a phonics scope and sequence — but written and illustrated to be the kind of story a kid begs to read again.
