Here's a guide you can use!

Preschool / Ages 2 - 6
At this level, children can read, or listen to parents read picture books, that contain short sentences, repeated words, rhymes, simple concepts and pictures that help children learn to read. Ages 2 to 4 should require parents' help, while ages 5 to 6 can read on their own.

Early Readers / Lower Primary / Ages 7 - 9
At this level, children can read simple stories with plots around themes that aren't heavy, with simple vocabulary and illustrations every few pages or so.

Upper Primary / Ages 10 - 12
At this level, children can read stories with subplots and casts of characters, that use a range of vocabulary. Children can understand different sentence structures and figurative language.

Youths / Ages 13 - 14
At this level, children can read as adults do. Stories focus on adolescent concerns and mature themes.

After placing your order, you can fill in an optional form (within 24 hours!), if you've got in mind certain topics you'd like us to try avoiding in your child's Storybox!

We track titles sent in each Storybox, through your Thryft account, so they won't repeat!

As Storybox is a specially curated initiative, we cannot accommodate the choosing of specific titles. If you've got certain titles in mind, we'd encourage you to shop from our store!
