The best way to improve your vocabulary

Remember learning your native language? It's all right, no one does, but we all did it in the same way - via the context in which we heard and saw new words. That's how STORIED stories work - you learn vocabulary using the same time-tested, scientifically-proven, and much-more-fun-than-cramming method: literary context.

Literacy - useful in school, on tests, in life

Being literate means being comfortable with reading and writing, which means better communication skills, better grades, better test scores, a better education, better job prospects and, overall, a better life. That's right - it all starts with literacy, which starts with reading. We take the pain out of reading, making it fun, engaging and interactive. Now, for the better-life part...

Today's writers for today's readers

For every really good published writer, there are ten really good unpublished ones. We locate these covert geniuses, pair them with the most talented illustrators around, and have professional actors record the stories on audio. The result: the best of today's undiscovered short fiction, delivered to you as glorious, interactive multimedia.

Accessible to all

STORIED is available on any device with a Web browser. Whether it's a desktop, laptop, netbook, tablet, eReader or smartphone, you can use STORIED on it to read for fun and to learn a few (hundred) extra-difficult words now and again. If you have an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad, you can download our iOS app here.

Affordable to all
