Storyvoice was initially created with grant funding from the MIT Media lab, and began as a live storytelling show for Syrian refugee children in Lebanon. Today, our weekly live read-aloud shows have welcomed over 100,000 classrooms and families across 35 countries.
From one crisis to another, Storyvoice continues to find purpose.
Storyvoice was designed in response to the Syrian refugee crisis to help disadvantaged children keep reading and learning while out of school. With the onset of COVID-19 and global school closures, we expanded the Storyvoice experience to reach more kids in need. Through the process, we have been able to create a vibrant international reading community, and an exciting new technology that helps every child, everywhere, regularly enjoy the benefits and joy of reading with others.
We are a team of engineers, designers and publishing execs, representing three nationalities, united by a shared love for stories and passion for making a difference.
Over 50% of children lack regular one-on-one reading time at home, a key contributor to early literacy and learning gaps around the world. Our mission is to democratize access to live reading experiences for kids, giving everyone a chance to grow up with the magic of stories and benefits of reading with others.
