Our Story
Storytime began in 2014 with two friends, Lulu Skantze and Leslie Coathup, and a simple idea. Between them they had more than 20 years in publishing, and they wanted to give parents and teachers a magazine that helps children fall in love with reading. No adverts and no plastic toys, just great stories.
We believe stories do more than teach children to read. They create treasured memories, build resilience and open doors to new worlds.
Something for every reader
Today, Storytime is read in more than 60 countries and used in over 2,000 UK schools and many more around the world. Our bite-size stories are perfect for reluctant readers who might not reach for a book, and for children learning English as an additional language. Bookworms love us too, for the beautiful illustrations and storytelling. Every monthly issue has something for everyone.
Storytime Hub opens up our entire archive to teachers and families wherever they are. That means more than 1,300 stories, plus audio stories, activities and learning resources, ready whenever you need them: in the classroom, at bedtime, or on the go.
Stories that change lives
Storytime is a social enterprise, and we work hard to make sure every child can access great stories. Children who read for pleasure build stronger vocabulary, writing, spelling and reading skills, and that helps them do better at school and in life.
Our yearly survey shows that after receiving Storytime for a year, the proportion of children reading for more than the recommended 20 minutes a day doubled! Even better, the proportion of children who enjoyed reading increased as well!
