What is Pickatale?

Pickatale is a global reading platform for 4-11+ year-old students, educators and parents, with a focus on learning to read English (based on the “Science of Reading”) and encouraging reading for enjoyment (based on a "Reading for Pleasure" pedagogy) as well as future-ready literacy skills with its AI book creator.

Discover around 3,000 children's books from top publishers like Oxford University Press, Arcturus, Cricket and more. Explore a wide range of stories, categories, and quizzes that inspire children to read and learn. With 8 reading stages, there's a perfect book for every child, including offline access within the dedicated student Apps. Rewards and personal avatars motivate children to want to read.

Pickatale Create - Teachers can easily create engaging personalised books using AI that support curriculum objectives and inspire a love of reading in every student. Tailor books to meet each student’s needs and bring your lessons to life instantly!

All of our books (stages 1-6+) have integrated quizzes. These consist of multiple-choice questions that reinforce critical thinking skills, including higher-order and Lower-Order Thinking, across the key pillars of comprehension: vocabulary, Retrieval, inference, Sequence/Summary, and Explanation.

The Oxford Schools Dictionary is embedded in books from stage 3 to stage 6+ to enhance vocabulary acquisition for the learner.

Fluency assessments allow teachers to measure and track students’ reading fluency directly within Pickatale. These assessments use differentiated passages designed by the Pickatale team, helping teachers standardise how fluency is measured while adapting to different reading levels.

Once your students start reading in the Pickatale app, teachers can track their reading performance with the teacher dashboard. Your dashboard is automatically updated with comprehension quiz results, when students were last logged in, how much they’ve read and more!
