Five books. Five new words. One 7-year-old. This is exactly what your child's journal will look like inside The Storybook Coach.
This snapshot updates automatically every time your kid saves an entry.
Here's exactly what you'll see when you build your own inside a free account — about 30 seconds to set up.
Any book on your shelf works. We recognize thousands of books — or paste in something new and we'll build the mission from the title.
A Lens is the reading skill you want to work on tonight. Pick one — we tune the questions, the vocab game, and the journal prompt to match it.
Hear and play with the sounds inside words.
Connect letters to sounds and build words.
Grow a treasure chest of new words.
Stretch sentences and back-and-forth talk.
Notice characters, problems, and clues.
Read smoothly, with feeling and flow.
5+ more lenses inside — including Math Explorer, Character Coach, and Discovery Explorer. Change the lens any night; the journal remembers what you've tried.
Below is a real preview of the Read-Aloud Plan, the Shared Journal, and the AI Vocab Game — for The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Create your free account to build one for your own book.
Pause on page 6 (the pear). Let them predict what he'll eat next — it's the page most kids remember.
One entry, two voices. Your kid taps their favorite part; you add a note they'll read back years from now.
"My favorite is the cocoon page because he takes a big nap and wakes up beautiful. I want to try a plum tomorrow."
She read the word "cocoon" without help tonight. First time. Also asked what nibble means — we practiced it three times.
Not generic flashcards. Every word below was pulled from The Very Hungry Caterpillarby the AI. Match each one to its kid-friendly meaning.
Tap a word, then tap its meaning.
