Storyshares Digital Library

The platform hosts a catalogue of original short stories, novels, and ebooks written specifically for adolescent and adult readers who read below their grade level, a format commonly referred to as hi-lo (high-interest, low-readability). Content is contributed by authors through writing contests and publishing initiatives operated by the organisation, with titles spanning a range of genres and themes intended to reflect diverse experiences and backgrounds.

Teachers and learners can access books through a web-based reader, with materials organised by reading level, topic, and genre to support classroom use and independent reading. Alongside the reading library, the platform includes features such as comprehension quizzes, assessments, and read-along audio to support literacy instruction.

The service is used in schools, libraries, and tutoring programmes working with struggling readers, English language learners, and students receiving reading intervention. Educators can assign texts, monitor student progress, and integrate reading activities into curriculum planning.

Storyshares operates as a non-profit organisation, and its catalogue is intended to address gaps in age-appropriate reading material for older readers who require texts at lower reading levels.
