🎨 UNIQUE ILLUSTRATIONS ON EVERY PAGE
Every page includes a different illustration designed to focus attention, support imagination, and clarify what is being read. The artwork provides visual context, keeps motivation high, and turns each scene into a moment that children will remember.
🎶 ADAPTIVE BACKGROUND MUSIC
Each story features background music that adapts to calm, action, or suspenseful moments. The soundtrack builds an emotional bridge to the narrative, improves engagement, and supports comprehension by reinforcing tone and atmosphere while kids read.
🎤 READ-ALOUD OPTION
A natural voice reads the current page. Children can follow along as they listen, which strengthens fluency, intonation, and confidence. It is ideal for early readers and for practicing pronunciation in a supportive way.
🔍 SLOWED-DOWN PRONUNCIATION
Tapping any word plays it at a slower speed so each sound is clear. This immediate, playful feedback helps kids decode words, practice difficult phonemes, and build accurate pronunciation step by step.
📚 VIRTUAL LIBRARY
The app includes a wide selection of classic tales and fables chosen to inspire a love of reading. Stories are entertaining, meaningful, and suitable for different ages, encouraging curiosity and positive values.
📖 SHORT BOOKS WITH BRIEF TEXTS
Each book has up to 30 pages with very short texts per page. This makes reading accessible and less intimidating, reduces fatigue, and helps children practice independently in short, effective sessions.
✏️ CUSTOMIZABLE FONT TYPES
Up to four font options make text comfortable and accessible for each child. Families and educators can choose the style that feels clearer on different screens and lighting conditions.
🔠 ALL CAPS OR MIXED CASE
Text can be shown entirely in uppercase to support early recognition, or in a standard combination of lowercase and uppercase to practice conventional reading. Choose what works best at each stage.
🌐 LANGUAGE SWITCHING
Short Stories is multilingual: switch text to Spanish, French, German, Italian, or Portuguese. Kids can read familiar tales while exploring vocabulary in a new language, without changing the context of the story.
🌙 NIGHT MODE
Night mode adjusts colors and brightness for evening reading, making the screen gentler on the eyes and more comfortable before bedtime.
Short Stories is a practical companion for classrooms and homes. With page-by-page illustrations, adaptive music, and interactive tools, it turns reading into a rich experience that supports skills, autonomy, and enjoyment. Download now and open the door to a world of stories and learning for your kids.

Whoever made this knows nothing about education and letter recognition. WHY would you do a book story in ALL capital letters? are children not going to learn letter recognition for lower case? Also, speaks WAY too fast, how ridiculous. GARBAGE app!
