Five read-along languages

Bedtime stories in five languages, read along word by word

Dreamtime Stories tells the same calm, beautifully written story in English, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese. Words light up as they are spoken, so a child can follow along, hear a second language at bedtime, and drift off while quietly growing more fluent.

How the languages work

One story, five voices, read along

Every story in five languages

English, French, Spanish, Brazilian and European Portuguese. Switch language any time; the story, art and narration stay the same.

Read-along text

Each line is highlighted as it is narrated, so early readers can match sound to word in their own language or a new one.

Natively written, not machine-translated

Each language is written to read like real children's literature, not a word-for-word copy of the English.

A gentle path to a second language

Hearing a familiar story in another language at bedtime is one of the calmest ways to grow an ear for it.

Why families love it

Made for bilingual and language-learning homes

For multilingual families

Parents raising children across two languages can share one story, each in their own tongue.

For classrooms and tutors

A calm, accurate resource for early language exposure, with the same story to compare across languages.

Calm first, always

No ads, no feed and no flashing rewards. Language exposure happens inside a story built to settle a child, not stir them up.
