SameStory takes one great book and rewrites it across six reading levels, from picture book to adult novel, synchronized so your whole family arrives at the same moment in the story at the same time.
Free · No signup · Public domain classic · 3 reading levels
Every edition preserves the same plot, characters, emotional beats, and themes. The vocabulary, sentence structure, length, and complexity change. The story doesn't.
Ages 3-5. Rich illustrations, minimal text, core emotions.
Ages 5-7. Short sentences, familiar words, supported narrative.
Ages 8-11. Full chapters, character depth, emerging themes.
Ages 12-14. Complex plot, moral nuance, emotional stakes.
Ages 15-17. Layered narrative, subtext, ambiguity.
Full literary experience. Complete prose, unabridged depth.
Every edition includes shared checkpoints, calibrated by reading speed per age group. Your five-year-old finishes her picture book chapter in the same 15 minutes your teenager finishes his. Everyone arrives at the same plot beat. Together.
Dinner table conversation goes from "what did you read today?" to "can you believe what just happened to the protagonist?"
We partner with publishers and authors to adapt their best-selling stories. Starting with beloved public domain classics to prove the model.
Our editorial workflow uses AI for initial adaptation drafts, then professional editors for voice, pacing, and age-appropriate nuance at every level.
Checkpoints are calibrated using Lexile-equivalent scoring, words-per-minute by age, and comprehension research. Not guesswork. Data.
Reading together shouldn't mean reading the same words. It should mean sharing the same story.
