Not ordinary tales: planned growth
The stories follow a programme; they follow what your child’s age needs, in order.
Each week one value or skill is chosen — from a curriculum planned by age, in a set order. That week a seven-night book works it through with your child’s heroes in a pedagogical shape: recognition, examples, a choice, a setback, repair, a calm close.
- Topics in order, by age
- A complete seven-chapter week
- A separate profile per child
How it differs from an ordinary tale
Three questions, two answers: an ordinary story app and Nori Tales.
| Question | Ordinary tale | Nori Tales |
|---|---|---|
| Who picks the topic? | Whatever is at hand, or whatever the parent picks that night. | A programme planned by age; topics come in a set order. |
| How long does one story last? | One night, one story. | Seven nights, one value: recognition, examples, a choice, a setback, repair, a calm close. |
| What stays with the child? | A nice story. | A value settled by repetition, and a conversation to carry on at home. |
At Your Hour
One Book a Week, One Chapter a Night
Each week's book has seven chapters: every evening, tonight's chapter opens ahead of the bedtime you choose. Miss a night and nothing is lost — the week simply stretches to your child's pace. No day counters, no locks: you can always look ahead at the next chapters yourself.
The story's liveliest night is night 5; even then, every chapter ends calmly.
- NIGHT 1
Introduction
We meet the hero and the week's idea.
- NIGHT 2
A New Side
The idea shows a new side of itself.
- NIGHT 3
Trying It
The hero tries the idea their own way.
- NIGHT 4
Two Ways
A choice to make, or another point of view.
- NIGHT 5
A Small Setback
The plan goes awry; the cost stays limited and the chapter ends calmly.
- NIGHT 6
Repair
A way is found; asking for help is a way too.
- NIGHT 7
Settling In
The week's idea settles into place.
The week is complete
Inside one night
Each chapter arrives once a night, at the hour your family chooses.
Before your hour
That night's chapter is ready an hour early.
Shortly before your hour
A short reminder reaches you; you can turn it off in settings.
Your hour
Tonight's chapter: read it or listen to it.
The last pages
The pace slows; the chapter winds down calmly.
Five Age Groups, Five Ways of Telling
Each chapter’s length and scene count are set by age before a word is written; between ages 1 and 6 those limits are defined for every single year. The passages below are short excerpts. This is a framework for age-appropriate storytelling, not a clinical assessment.
- Ages 1–3Trust and routine
≈ 1–6 min read aloud a nightup to 2 scenes
Trust and Recognition
One simple event, familiar objects and short, repeating sentences with a gentle ending.
Each chapter moves around a single event beside a safe adult, and the same sentence comes back on purpose, because repetition is how a child this age joins in and knows what comes next. Threat of separation, guilt and frightening scenes do not enter this band; if a feeling is named, it is settled right away.
“The ball is red. The ball rolls. Lily holds the ball. The ball is soft, very soft. Lily smiles. The ball rolls. Mum lifts Lily into her lap. Good night, red ball.”

≈ 4–11 min read aloud a nightup to 4 scenes
Friendship and Sharing
Taking turns, sharing and small responsibilities, with the consequence visible at once.
The character can make a mistake and gets the chance to repair it, and asking for help is shown as a normal option rather than a weakness. No shaming, no “bad child” label, no lesson taught through punishment.
“Emma looked at the last strawberry in the basket, then at Leo. ‘Shall we split it?’ she asked. She broke it in two; when Leo smiled, Emma smiled too.”
See this age’s first week - Ages 7–8Rules and cooperation years
≈ 7–13 min read aloud a nightup to 5 scenes
Empathy and Boundaries
Different feelings about the same event, short dialogue, and a safe way of saying no.
The character can cooperate and still hold a boundary, and turning to a trusted adult is told as a good move. Forced self-sacrifice, and plots in which a child is asked to keep a secret, are not used.
“‘Shall we carry the box together?’ said Noah. Ava paused: ‘I will, but I have to finish this first.’ Noah waited; between the two of them the box felt lighter.”
See this age’s first week - Ages 9–10Peers and fairness
≈ 8–16 min read aloud a nightup to 5 scenes
Fairness and Perspective
The reason behind a choice, its effect on others, and privacy online.
The character sees why they chose as they did and how it lands on other people, and both sides of the same event are told. Belittling, stereotypes and plots where winning is the only measure are not used.
“A message with someone’s name in it was going around the class group. Before passing it on, Chloe stopped: was it true, or was it just travelling fast? She did not forward it, and put the phone down.”
See this age’s first week - Ages 11–12Moving into adolescence
≈ 10–20 min read aloud a nightup to 6 scenes
Identity and Responsibility
Weighing your own principles, disagreeing respectfully, and leaving room for doubt.
The character keeps the right to decide for themselves; saying “I don’t know” and leaving some questions open is a valid ending — the tension is not left open, and the chapter closes by settling. No talking down, no emotional manipulation, no promise of guaranteed success.
“Going where everyone else went was the easy part. Daniel stayed a step behind, objected without raising his voice, and convinced no one. He did not take it back. Someone walked home beside him; neither of them needed to say anything.”

At your hour, without pressure
The programme is ordered but the calendar is yours: chapters open as you read, and a missed night costs nothing.
One night, one chapter
The next chapter is ready the evening after you read the previous one, an hour before your bedtime.
A missed night costs nothing
If you cannot read one evening the week stretches; no chapter is skipped, no goal is lost.
Re-reading is always open
Finished chapters stay open; at the youngest ages, reading the same story again and again is part of the programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
Details about how Nori Tales is used, how subscriptions work and how the platform operates.
How does the program work for more than one child on the same account?
Each child gets a separate profile and their own growth program. The subscription itself is account-level: there is one plan, and each child takes a seat on it.
Can I change the topic order or days?
No. The topic order is prepared for your child's age group and stays fixed, so each story builds on the last. You can manage the weekly production schedule (automatic or manual) however you like.
How are subscription and plan changes handled?
Plan changes are handled in the secure Stripe customer portal, while cancelling and resuming are managed from the subscription screen on the platform.
Which books can be read without an internet connection?
Only your own Growth Program and custom stories can be stored on this device and read offline. Reader catalogue books open online only.
Can I download books as PDF or MP3?
No. For copyright, digital security and reader integrity, books cannot be exported as PDF or MP3. Everything is read and listened to in the Nori Tales EPUB reader, and personal books can be kept in the browser cache for offline reading.
