Why StoryPress
Why parents choose StoryPress
No overwhelm. No homework. Just 4 new words, a short game, and a story page — in about 10 minutes. Small enough to fit into any day.
Every Word Becomes a Story
Your child doesn't memorise a list. They meet words inside stories they help create — and that's what makes them remember.
A Book They Made Themselves
After 10 days, your child has a finished storybook with their name on the cover. Not a certificate. Not a score. A real book.
Made for Families Like Ours
We're an immigrant family in Auckland. We built StoryPress for children growing up between two languages — where English isn't just a subject, it's part of everyday life.
Three steps to a real storybook
How It Works
“Other apps end at a lesson. StoryPress ends with a book.”
A Growing Library
A growing library of books they made themselves
Every day, your child creates a new story page. After 10 days, all the pages come together into a finished book — with their name right there on the cover. Then a new story begins.
a day
Short enough for any schedule. Long enough to make real progress.
words per book
Each storybook contains 40 carefully chosen, research-backed vocabulary words.
to a real book
Ten daily pages become one finished storybook — with your child's name on the cover.

Built on Research
Not a new method. Proven science, wrapped in creativity.
We didn't invent a new way to teach English. We took what decades of research already proved — and wrapped it in something a child would actually want to do: make their own storybook.
Words that stick
Every word in StoryPress is chosen from the same research-backed lists used in classrooms across New Zealand, Australia, the US, and the UK. Your child meets each word 14+ times — through stories, games, and their own creations — so it stays.
Stories, not drills
Children remember words far better when they meet them inside stories they care about. That's why every word in StoryPress lives inside a story your child helps create.
Made by them, not watched by them
Your child doesn't just listen or tap. They build a story, colour the scene, and see their work become a real page in a real book. That's active creation — and it's what makes the difference.

Our Story
Built by a mom.
For her daughter.
When Jin moved from Seoul to Auckland at age 4, English was a wall. We tried apps, tutors, YouTube, playgroups. Some helped. Most didn't stick.
StoryPress was born from that journey — the frustration, the breakthroughs, and the moment Jin said “I made a story!” for the first time.
My child creates a new story page every day —

and can't wait to show me what she made.
