StoryPass Learning
Read full descriptionHide full description
StoryPass turns practice into a story worth finishing. Math, literacy, and social studies — every lesson written around what your student already cares about. Tell StoryPass that they love dinosaurs, or soccer, or a particular book series, and their lessons arrive as narratives built on exactly that. The skill being taught doesn't change. The reason to pay attention does. BUILT FOR GRADES 1-5 Over 500 skills across math, literacy, and social studies, aligned to the Common Core State Standards and the C3 Framework. Skills are sequenced so students move forward as they demonstrate mastery rather than on a fixed calendar. Each session follows a consistent rhythm — new material is taught, practiced, confirmed, and reviewed — so students always know where they are. HOW IT WORKS An educator or parent sets up a student profile with their grade and a few favorites. From there, StoryPass generates lessons on demand. Students read, answer questions, and get immediate feedback. Progress is tracked skill by skill, so you can see precisely what has been mastered and what still needs work. WHERE IT FITS StoryPass is a practice program, not a complete curriculum. It carries the daily reps across three subjects, alongside whatever you already teach. FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTS - Set up a classroom and manage multiple students from one account - See mastery progress by subject and by skill, not just an overall score - Review session history and question-level results - Adjust a student's interests any time as they change SIDEQUEST Photograph a piece of your student's actual schoolwork — a math worksheet, a page from a book, a word problem — and StoryPass builds a short lesson around it. Homework becomes practice. WORLDFINDER The first time a student passes a skill, they earn a collectible. Collectibles unlock locations on an explorable world map, and each place they reach comes with real reading about it. The reward for practice is more world. IPAD AND IPHONE The full student experience runs on iPad, in full-screen landscape, built for the way children actually hold one. On iPhone, the app gives you the educator dashboard — roster and progress, so you can check where a student stands without opening a laptop. PRIVACY StoryPass is built for children, and we treat that seriously. We never collect last names, addresses, phone numbers, or photos of your child. We do not sell or rent data, we do not show advertising, and we do not use your child's information to train AI models. There is no chatbot and no open text box where a child types to an AI. Students sign in with a username and PIN issued by their educator; children cannot create accounts themselves. Full policy at storypasslearning.com/privacy SUBSCRIPTION The app is free to download and requires an active subscription to use. To start a subscription, go to storypasslearning.com/signup. You'll create an account, complete payment through Stripe, and then sign in with the email and password you set. If you already have an account, sign in at app.storypasslearning.com — that's also where you manage or cancel billing at any time.

Align's advantage is chart position (#81 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
