One Third Stories that begin in English and end in French, Spanish, Italian or German.

The fun way to introduce kids to a new language, delivered to your door every month. Packed with stories, activities and flashcards for ages 4-9.

Every month, you’ll receive a box containing a beautifully illustrated storybook and a variety of complementary resources. Each story begins in English. One by one, words from your child’s new language are gradually introduced. The context and illustrations make the meaning of each word instantly clear. As the story progresses, these words develop into whole phrases, whole sentences and eventually whole pages in your child’s new language.

Your Journey with One Third Stories

• Pick a language: First, choose which language you want to introduce your little learner to. Our Story Boxes are available in French, Spanish, Italian and German.
• Choose your term: We offer a variety of subscription plans to suit learners of all kinds. If you don’t love your first Story Box we’ll give you a full refund – no questions asked!
• Listen to the audiobook: Before your Story Box arrives, we’ll send you a link to the audiobook. Narrated by some fantastic native speaker storytellers, it’s a great way to familiarise kids and parents alike with the pronunciation of any new language before you get to grips with reading it together.
• Receive your Story Box: Your Story Box has arrived! Each one contains a beautifully illustrated storybook, flashcards and a variety of other games and activities.
• Read the story together: Time to read! Our fun, original storybooks begin in English, before gradually introducing words in your child’s new language using our unique Clockwork Methodology.
• Do the activities: Once kids have been introduced to new words and phrases, it’s time to tackle some fun written activities that test and reinforce their learning. Don’t worry if your child isn’t quite ready for writing yet; our activities are easily adaptable for younger kids.
• Talk about it: Every Story Box includes plenty of speaking practice, with games and activities designed to get kids talking, laughing and excited to continue their language learning adventure.
