Start Reading Free
No credit card. No commitment. Just good stories and fun learning activities that work.
Sometimes you just want to try something before you decide. That makes complete sense, especially when you have already tried a lot of things that did not work.
A free subscription gathers everything we publish openly into one place, and sends you something useful three times a week. Watch the stories. Read the articles. Try the activities with your child. See how they respond. Then decide.
What you get with a free subscription
16 Read-Along Storybooks, easy to find — Every fairy tale, narrated, free to watch as often as you like. Your child can follow the story before they can read a single word. They live on YouTube, which means adverts — gathered here so you are not hunting for them.
All our articles about how to help kids become better readers, organized by topic — Visual learning, late reader strategies, and the real reasons some children struggle. Sorted so you can find the one that matches the week you are having.
Our latest ideas delivered to your inbox three times per week — Short, practical, and written for the adult sitting next to the child. Unsubscribe whenever you like.
Three downloadable learning activities every week — Print-ready, drawn from the current curriculum, and free to keep. Roughly twelve a month, so there is always something new to try.
Subscriber-only offers — First to hear when something new arrives, and the better price when it does.
Ready for the whole month?
Story Coach is $9 a month. It gives you the complete curriculum for the current character — every learning activity, that month's Grown-Up Guide, and the read-along videos without adverts.
Print as much as you need for the children in your own care — your own family, or the children you work with one to one and in small groups. Licensing for a whole classroom, practice or library arrives later this year.
See for yourself what your child can do.
Give us your email. That is it. No credit card, and nothing to cancel.
