Under the story type header, users can choose from a wide range of genres, such as American tales, classic tales, fables, folk tales, and a history section, containing biographies and more. While listening to a story, a user can create a bookmark, add to favorites, or rate the story.

The company has partnered with Renaissance Learning to use its Accelerated Reader algorithm to identify reading materials that best suit student readers’ abilities.
