You know the child. The little victories. The things that make them lean in.
Finding a book that fits their interests and the sounds they’re learning can take longer than the lesson itself. Sound and Story gives you a place to start: a story built around both, ready for your review and your personal touch.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Before we turn
the first page.
How does the free trial work?
Create an account, choose a plan and add a card in secure Stripe checkout. Your 7-day trial starts when checkout completes, with no charge today. Your selected plan renews automatically after the trial unless you cancel before it ends. Your saved resources stay readable.
How much does a subscription cost?
Parent is US$23 monthly or US$159 yearly. Teacher is US$29 monthly or US$199 yearly. School is US$899 yearly for up to 20 teachers. Annual plans charge the full yearly amount once per year.
How are the words checked?
The checker compares each word with your selected spelling and sound skills and taught tricky words. It flags unsupported or uncertain vocabulary. These checks don’t judge meaning or suitability, so review every resource before teaching.
Will the illustrations stay consistent?
The cover acts as a shared visual reference for the story’s scenes. You can request a change to an individual illustration. Generated artwork can vary, so check character details and scene accuracy before printing.
Can I edit a book before printing?
Yes. Edit the title or page text in the book editor, then save and recheck. PDF export is available when the current text passes its checks. Worksheets can also be edited and rechecked.
Does it map to curriculum standards or Lexile levels?
Choose your teaching country and year, including UK Reception–Year 6 and editable Letters and Sounds phase starting points. England profiles link to the relevant official word-reading reference. Word checks follow your selected sounds; these references do not certify full curriculum coverage. Lexile calibration is not available.
Does it include narration and QR codes?
Generate AI narration for a checked book, listen to it, then enable a listening link to include a QR code in its PDF. You can turn off the link at any time. Audio supports up to 4,000 characters per book. Listening links need a public web address to work away from the teacher’s computer.
Can a school share access across teachers?
The School plan is US$899 yearly for up to 20 teachers. An administrator creates the school and shares an invite code. Each teacher keeps a private library. School access is covered by the administrator’s confirmed Stripe trial or active School subscription.
Do worksheets use the same words as the story?
Book based worksheets draw their reading words from the selected story. The checker verifies source vocabulary, selected phonics skills, answers and page layout before export.
Think of one child.
What lights them up?
Start with that. Add the sounds they’re learning. See what you can make together.
