As a mom and educator, it’s no surprise how much I value reading in my home. There are so many benefits to reading to your children at a young age. Not only will your children learn social, communication, speech, and language skills, reading to your children helps increase your parent child attachment bond. Plus reading to your child will ignite the creativity, imagination, and play inside of them!
I usually read at least one story to my children each night before bed and often recommend to other parents to read 1-3 books each day to their children, especially if they are struggling with language. But sometimes my children want me to tell them “make-believe” stories other than the ones they have read a million times from the books on their bookshelves. But by the time night falls, I am exhausted, and as a busy parent, I can’t always research or think of a creative story to tell them. That’s where Story Tyke comes in!
Story Tyke is a new business that delivers original bedtime stories right to your Inbox for FREE! Story Tyke is intended for parents of 4-8 year olds. Every night, Sunday through Thursday, one of Story Tyke’s unique stories are delivered right to your inbox, making it easy for busy, tired parents, so you can easily read to your children before bedtime without going through the hassle of trying to come up with something on your own or finding something random on the internet. Story Tyke provides original stories, traditional twists (think Spinderella vs. Cinderella), educational stories, and customized stories where you can insert your children’s names to make the story more engaging!
Story Tyke was started by Jacob Merkley, a dad of 3 under the age of six, and working parent who wanted to start a company to help parents and children at the same time. On his team, there are many writing contributors that help write the stories to engage your children that will ultimately educate and create a bond for you and your child together! In fact, he has an entire team of professional writers, many of them being critically-acclaimed children’s book authors! Check out some of their story samples here! I also love that there are question prompts embedded within each story to ask your children questions along the way during the story to reflect, discuss emotions, etc!
“Story Tyke removes the need for parents to spend time creating or hastily search for stories to tell their children at bedtime.”
— Jacob Merkley, Founder & CEO of Story Tyke
And I love that you read right from your phone or laptop or you can even print out the stories once they are sent to you so you can be completely screen free before bedtime!
Once you submit your name and email on StoryTyke’s website and confirm your email, you will receive the following message! You should receive your first story at 6 p.m. between 24-48 hours after sign-up.
You Are Ready! Story Tyke Coming Your Way
Thank you for confirming your subscription.
You can expect our stories delivered to your inbox at 6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday nights. However, it might take several days to get you cued up in the system. We have a 24-hour delivery cycle since we have parents around the world using Story Tyke—meaning that you might not get stories until the next 24-hour cycle.
If you sign up on Wednesday through Saturday, you likely won’t get your first story until Sunday. In return for your patience, we will send you an initial story the moment you sign up.
