A family account managed by an adult
Children do not need their own email or login. You manage display names, age bands, preferred languages, saved favourites and reading progress in the parent dashboard. Check each story’s age range, theme and available languages before playing it.
Pause, replay and quiet reading
Choose Listen or Explore, adjust sound or use quiet reading. Press Space or tap the unlocked story surface once to pause or resume. Opening story options pauses the background story, and leaving the tab or browser window pauses it too. Controls and form fields keep their own actions.
A parent PIN for the story screen
During playback, use Lock and resume story to keep the story playing while in-story taps, keyboard shortcuts and links stay locked. Unlock with the parent PIN when you want to change controls. Interactive choices wait until the screen is unlocked; Listen mode follows the default story path.
Set, change or reset your family PIN in dashboard Settings with your account password. You do not need to remember the old PIN to reset it. This lock protects the website’s story controls; it cannot lock device buttons, browser controls or other apps. Guest sample readers use a temporary lock for that tab.
Photo personalization requires your consent
Only a parent or guardian with authority and rights to the image may upload a child photo. Choose the eligible story and devices, review the credit quote and explicitly approve generation. The pictures remain private until you approve their use in your child’s story. Remove the reference photo and its saved personalized pictures in the dashboard whenever you choose.
Questions start with an explicit action
The optional Ask feature is designed for story-related questions. Recording requires a deliberate action and browser microphone permission. Avoid sharing a child’s full legal name, address, school or other sensitive information. AI answers and pictures may contain mistakes and require adult judgement.
