In addition to dynamic story content, StoryTime encourages play and imagination with activities such as silly sounds, silly sentences, jokes, wordless picture books, flashcards, tracing of numbers, letters, and shapes, and a built-in digital piano, making the app truly one of a kind. Most importantly, StoryTime International’s features improve reading, vocabulary, and writing while inspiring creativity and a love of language.
