StoryBox is a magazine for children aged 3 to 6 who are growing up with English or just beginning to learn the language. Written entirely in English, it focuses on stories to enjoy with an adult, alongside informative articles, comic strips and games. Each issue contains 52 pages, offering a varied reading experience designed to introduce young children to English without turning the magazine into a school textbook.
Stories, animals and discoveries on every page
StoryBox offers a balanced mix of fiction, discovery and activities:
- The main story: A long English-language story, as substantial as a book, to read together and revisit over several days.
- Wonder with Whizkid: A science section that answers children’s questions through simple explanations and illustrations.
- Stories & comics: Illustrated stories and comic strips featuring characters such as SamSam, Little Brown Bear and Polo.
- Animal World: Each month, a different animal is introduced through illustrations and information tailored to young readers.
- Games & activities: Games, observation challenges and creative activities extend the reading experience while developing attention and comprehension skills.
An English-language magazine designed for young readers
StoryBox is primarily aimed at children aged 3 to 6 who already hear English at home, live in a bilingual environment or simply want to become familiar with the language. The content remains accessible thanks to its illustrations, characters and engaging storytelling. For children who cannot yet read independently, sharing the magazine with a parent also turns each issue into an opportunity to connect and enjoy time together.
The approach is playful and engaging. Rather than focusing on vocabulary exercises, the magazine aims to encourage children to listen, understand and gradually recognise words and expressions in context.
Following in the tradition of children’s magazines that nurture a love of storytelling, StoryBox features long, illustrated stories to enjoy together as a family, all within an entirely English-language world.
