A reading app for kids, with only the books you choose
StoryBee Reader turns the stories you make into books your child reads on their own tablet. Words light up as the story is read aloud, with words to learn and questions to talk about after.

How the reading app works
- Step 1
Fill the bookshelf
In your StoryBee account, pick stories you have made and add them to the Reader shelf.
- Step 2
Link your child's tablet
Open StoryBee Reader, choose to sign in with a code and type in the code from your account. It works once and lasts 10 minutes.
- Step 3
Read along
Your child opens a book and follows each word as it lights up, until they are ready to read it alone.
Read-along stories that grow with your child
Start with the story read aloud, word by word. As your child grows more confident, they take over.
Read-along highlighting
Each word lights up as it is read aloud, so early readers can follow along and then join in.
Words to learn
Tricky words in each book are picked out, so a story about the moon can also teach "crater".
Questions to talk about
Every book comes with questions, to see what stuck and get your child talking about the story.
Only the books you choose
You fill the shelf from stories you have made. Show or hide each book per child, and set the languages each one reads in.
Reads offline
Each book is saved on the device, so reading carries on in the car or on a plane.
Sign in with a code
Link your child's tablet with a one-time code from your account. No email or password for them, and you can unlink it any time.
