Stories for ages 14–18

Stories for ages 14–18 use words, examples, and a quiz written for that band. A younger band stays concrete and short. An older band can hold a longer explanation and a harder question. Parents and teachers can pick any story on this page and read it in one sitting: picture, story, then five questions. The topics mix science, nature, history, places, inventions, and how things are made, so a child is not stuck in one subject. Choose a title below. If the child wants something that is not listed, go to the home page, enter their age, and name the topic. Published stories in this band are long enough to teach one idea, have a picture, and use an English title. Related stories on the article page stay inside the same age band when they can. Parents can save a story after signing in, and Premium removes the daily limit on new lessons. Start with the list on this page, then open a related story when the first one is finished.
