One class
Start with your class
Share a class code with families and every student gets a private reading shelf at home. You hear each child read without giving up a minute of class time.
StoryNest for Schools
Hear every student read. Every week.
You can't sit beside 26 readers every night. StoryNest lets students read aloud at home or in class, keeps every recording in one private place, and shows you who's growing and who needs you next.

A tick in a diary can't tell you how they read.
Fluency is built by reading aloud, often, to someone who's listening. But a class of 26 gets maybe a few minutes each with the teacher a week, and the home reading log only tells you a book went home.
StoryNest turns every one of those reads into something you can hear, play back and act on, without adding a single marking pile.
Class-wide to network-wide
Start with one class. Grow to the whole school.
A year level
Line up a whole cohort
Run the same reading program across every Year 3 class, compare fluency growth across the cohort, and share one library of school passages.
Whole school
Roll out school-wide
One licence covers every class. Leadership gets the big picture, the literacy lead sets the programs, and classes move up a year without losing their history.
Running a network of schools?
Networks, dioceses and school groups can share programs and passages across campuses, while each school's recordings stay private to that school.
Custom reading tools
Built around your literacy block, not the other way round.
- Your passages, your levels. Load your own texts and word lists, or line challenges up with the levelling and phonics sequence your school already uses.
- A class view of every reader. See who's practised this week, who hasn't, and whose fluency is climbing, on one screen.
- Tricky words across the class. Spot the words half the class stumbled on and plan tomorrow's mini-lesson around them.
- Notes pinned to the moment. Leave feedback at the exact second a student hesitated, so they can hear it and try again.
- Optional AI feedback. Accuracy, words correct per minute and friendly next steps after each read, if your school chooses to switch it on.
- Reports for parent–teacher interviews. A term's worth of recordings and progress, ready to share with families.

Ready-made reading programs
Programs you can run on Monday.
Each one comes with passages, a simple routine for students and a note home to families. Use them as they are, or make them your own.
All year
Home Reading, reimagined
Swap the paper reading log for a recording. Students read their take-home book aloud, and you get the date, the minutes and their actual voice reading it.
4 weeks
Fluency Sprints
Short, repeated reads of levelled passages, three times a week. Students watch their words correct per minute climb, and so do you.
School holidays
Holiday Reading Challenge
Keep the summer slide away with a set of challenge passages and a class leaderboard of minutes read, not scores. Certificates waiting on day one of term.
Families, in the loop
Home and school, on the same page.
Parents hear their child's reading improve over a term, not just a number on a report. Families can share a reading from home with you in one tap, and it lands in its own place, apart from homework. And at bedtime, the same app lets Mum, Dad or Grandpa record the stories on the shelf at home.
Billie read her new chapter book to Grandpa on the weekend.
