Before you begin
Here's what you'll need:

- Eligible Reading Practice access
Let's get started
Follow these steps
These instructions match the current StoryNest app. The pictures are simple screen maps until verified product screenshots are available.
Open the grown-up Practice tab
In the signed-in app select Practice. The optional AI consent controls appear when applicable.
Read the consent information
Read the explanation of how audio and text are processed, including the links to StoryNest's privacy policy. AI feedback is off until enabled.
Switch it on if you choose
Use Switch on AI reading feedback only if you are comfortable with the described processing. The setting applies to eligible new sessions.
Review feedback
Where available, a completed session may display reading observations and words to practise. Treat these as suggestions, not a formal measure.
Switch it off again
Return to Practice and use the AI feedback is on control to turn the setting off. For school tasks, there may be separate school consent options.
A few handy tips
- AI feedback is optional; manual review still works without it.
- Automatic transcription can mishear names, accents, quiet voices or background noise.
- Discuss persistent concerns with the child's teacher or an appropriately qualified professional.
