from Scholastic books. Storia essentially creates a virtual bookshelf
for your children (you can create up to 10 shelves) with
content specific to their age and reading level.
The app itself
comes with five free books, or purchase more from the online Storia e-bookstore. They’ll automatically get synced

reading right away. The app also comes with “Parent Tools” that tracks
your kid’s reading progress, time spent, and the kinds of
words she learned using the built-in Smart Dictionary.
part of the Scholastic Book Club program at school, your purchases are
linked to your existing account That means any Storia e-book buys will still earn
credits for your teachers that can be redeemed for more books or
classroom supplies.
