Scholastic Storia is a free e-reading app for iPad created by the people at Scholastic. The design of Storia is intended to help kids learn to read in a fun and interactive way.

Scholastic Storia comes with five free books and access to a collection of children’s digital picture, chapter, and interactive books that are appropriate for ages 3 to 14.

Parents are able to set up individual bookshelves for each of their children, purchase new books for their children, and track each child’s progress through each book. Kids can customize their bookshelves and use a variety of features that help them read in an independent and engaged way.

The Scholastic Storia app meets the reading needs and levels of each child, providing age-appropriate features that help develop reading enjoyment and proficiency:

  • audio narration and pronunciation tools
  • phonics and vocabulary activities
  • word games, story interactions, and animations
  • customized, age-appropriate embedded dictionary

More proficient readers can take notes, highlight text, and access contextual videos.
