Type this week's topic. Get a lesson-ready story.
The illustrated story, the read-aloud narration, the comprehension questions and the vocabulary list are all produced together from a single line you type — so the prep you would normally do by hand is already done when you open the lesson.
- No writing a story from scratch
- No hunting for illustrations that match
- No recording a read-aloud
- No writing comprehension questions afterwards

Story generator for any topic
Type a curriculum topic — photosynthesis, ancient civilisations, fractions — and ZunoTales returns an illustrated, narrated story with embedded learning objectives, key concepts, and comprehension questions.
Classroom management built in
Create a class roster in minutes. Students join with a code — no email required for under-13s. You control which stories are visible and can assign specific stories to individuals or groups.
Student analytics at a glance
See which students have read which stories, how they answered comprehension questions, and which vocabulary words appeared. Export reports for parent meetings or school reviews.
Safe by design
ZunoTales uses automated content checks and adult controls. AI can make mistakes; review stories and illustrations before sharing them with children.
Young Author mode for students
Designed to support shared reading and creative practice. Engagement and learning outcomes vary by child.

Questions from teachers
Do I need school IT approval to start?
Follow your school’s approval and consent requirements before entering student data. Procurement and privacy documents are available for review.
Which curricula does ZunoTales align to?
Learning Adventures draw on curriculum units for CBSE (Maths Classes 1–8; Science, EVS and English 3–8; Social Science 6–8), ICSE (Maths 1–6; EVS 1–5; Science and Computer Studies 3–6), the UK National Curriculum and Cambridge Primary (Maths and Science, 1–6), US Common Core Maths and NGSS Science (1–5), EYFS (all seven areas), the IB PYP through its six transdisciplinary themes, and Portugal’s Aprendizagens Essenciais (Maths 1–6, Estudo do Meio 1–4, Ciências Naturais 5–6), the Australian Curriculum (English, Maths and Science, Foundation–Year 6), the UAE Ministry of Education (Maths and Science, by cycle, because the Ministry publishes no grade-by-grade outcomes) and Montessori (by area). For any other curriculum, subject or grade, the lesson is written for the grade and subject you choose from general subject knowledge, not from a mapped unit, and its lesson notes say so. These are our own mappings — ZunoTales is not affiliated with, approved by, or endorsed by any examination board, ACARA or the IB Organization.
Can students use ZunoTales independently?
Yes. Students in your class can use Young Author mode to write and illustrate their own stories, or use Learn Adventure mode to explore curriculum topics. All content is filtered through a child-safety layer before delivery.
How does the classroom analytics work?
Your educator dashboard shows reading engagement per student, stories completed, vocabulary introduced, and comprehension question results. You can export reports for progress reviews or parent meetings.
