Standards alignment

Every activity is designed around the CCSS / NGSS / CASEL standards it supports. StoryQuest hits narrative writing, speaking-and-listening, and SEL in one 20-minute block.

Built with ELA, SEL, reading specialists, and librarians in focus groups — not bolted on afterward.

Use whichever pieces fit your week. Skip what doesn’t.

Meet the voices your kids will hear Lumi & Zip (plus Mr. Twisty)

Two narrators, one storytelling tool

On kid pages, Twisty Town uses a calm narrator (Lumi) and a big excited narrator (Zip) so stories feel dimensional, not robotic. On adult pages like this one, Mr. Twisty is the voice. Tap any button to preview.

Voices are powered by your device’s built-in speech engine. On most Windows, Mac, iPad, and Chromebook devices you’ll hear high-quality neural voices that match our audition picks — no downloads, no accounts, no cost.

Day 1 in your classroom?
