How Our Stories Work
It’s kind of the “hidden vegetables” approach to language learning and I love it!

Receive your Story Box
Your Story Box has arrived! Each one contains a beautifully illustrated storybook, flashcards and a variety of other games and activities.
Read the story together
Time to read! Our fun, original storybooks begin in English, before gradually introducing words in your child’s new language using our unique Clockwork Methodology.
Do the activities
Once kids have been introduced to new words and phrases, it’s time to tackle some fun written activities that test and reinforce their learning. Don’t worry if your child isn’t quite ready for writing yet; our activities are easily adaptable for younger kids.
Talk about it
Every Story Box includes plenty of speaking practice, with games and activities designed to get kids talking, laughing and excited to continue their language learning adventure.

We’ve been reading the @onethirdstories books alot recently. She’s been really enjoying learning the French words. Wish I’d managed to pick up another language when I was young.
