Scholastic just launched a new e-reading app called Storia. The online app is available for free on the PC and iPad, and they even start you off with 5 free books to read.
4 great ways to use Storia:
- To assist a multilingual child or late reader
- As a motivator for reluctant readers
- As a personal tutor
- to get your kids to beg for more non-fiction
I love this app, it is so much fun for my daughter. When you are reading books a lightning bolt will appear, and when you tap it a mini game will appear. The kids are having so much fun, they don’t even realize that they are learning. This year our school started half day Kindergarten, so I feel like she is behind specially in reading. Storia is a great way to get her started as it reads to her and help her sound out words.
The app is even good for classrooms, as teachers can track how much their students are reading.

I learned so much about Storia and all the features at the Scholastic event during Blogher 12 this year.
Diclosure: I received a gift bag full of goodies for attending the event.
