A Fun, Engaging Gift That Kids Want-With Lifelong Benefits
February 5, 2025 - Oakville, ON - In an era dominated by screens, parents, grandparents, and gift-givers are searching for ways to make reading exciting again. Enter Storyay, a new personalized reading experience that delivers beautifully illustrated custom story letters to kids aged 7-12 - right to their mailbox.
Just launched on Kickstarter, Storyay is designed to be a fun gift that also serves as a literacy-boosting adventure, engaging children in reading in a way that feels magical, personal, and interactive.
A Gift That Arrives in the Mail and Keeps Kids Excited About Reading
Storyay transforms reading into an experience that kids look forward to. Each child receives
- A special invitation to pick their story and personalize their adventure.
- A series of beautifully illustrated, personalized story letters delivered every few weeks.
- Fun activities, puzzles, and surprises designed to keep them engaged and spark creativity.
" Kids love getting mail, and Storyay makes reading feel like a personal adventure," said Sara Furlong Co-Founder of Storyay. "By delivering stories tailored to each child's name, interests, and even a custom avatar in some tiers, we're making books feel special, just for them ."
Why It Matters: The Power of Personalized Reading
Recent studies show that personalized stories can significantly increase reading engagement, especially among reluctant readers. Research from the University of Cambridge highlights that early reading for pleasure leads to better cognitive performance and mental well-being in adolescence-yet only 1 in 3 kids say they enjoy reading today.
"As an Occupational Therapist working with children for many years, I know that children love to be involved in a story. That this option is screen-free supports the needs of all youth to be more present and connected with the world around them. When they can choose the story, they are more invested in reading. Extension activities in Storyay can also be used in concurrent nondigital activities where all can explore their creative side. I heartedly endorse this value-added project," Cathy O'Leary OT REG (Ont), Occupational Therapist/Owner, Playful Strides Therapy Inc.
"I just finished the first letter and it was awesome! I loved seeing my name right in the story. Can't wait to see what happens next." - Brady Age 10
"I just finished my first adventure from Storyay, and it was so exciting! There was so much to do in the box-I loved the story, the colouring sheets, and all the fun activities. It made reading even more special, and I can't wait to get my next letters in the mail. Storyay makes reading an adventure, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves stories and creativity!" - Lucy 9 year old, Toronto

As temperatures gradually warm, spring and summer styling has become a focus in men's daily dressing. Compared to autumn and winter, spring and summer clothing is lighter, thinner, and more close-fitting, with longer and more extensive contact with the skin. This shift has led people to pay greater attention to the safety, comfort, and breathability of clothing materials. When garments almost become a "second skin," factors such as skin-friendliness,…
