A digital story platform that hosts numerous multilingual stories so that students can have access to an endless stream of stories in their home language to read and enjoy independently or with others. It is also an Open Educational Resource!
Students from multilingual backgrounds deserve to read books in their home language and digital dual language stories are a way to provide access from them. Storyweaver contains stories in 20 different languages so that students can read but also translate stories into their home language, a great opportunity for collaboration with peers or with families.
It also allows students to create stories, similar to Storybird, where students have access to illustrations from artists when writing. It also allows them to write words phonetically which is a benefit for early learners who may not have studied for multiple years in their home language.
