Struggling readers need real books—at their level, in their language, with scaffolds that preserve dignity.”

CAMBRIDGE, MA, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Storyshares, an innovative publisher dedicated to unlocking literacy for all learners, and Adaptive Reader, a print-first AI platform for accessible publishing, are proud to announce a new partnership to make Storyshares' award-winning high-low library available in 30 languages — with built-in decoding and audio supports.

Launching this month, the partnership will offer over 40 of Storyshares' most popular high-interest, low-readability titles in print-on-demand editions across 30 languages, including Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Somali, and Portuguese. An additional 400+ additional titles will be made available in the coming months. Each title will be available with optional audio narration and Decode Mode, a customizable decoding experience developed in partnership with Noah Text^®, which visually reinforces syllables and long vowels to support decoding, fluency, and comprehension.

"We have always been focused on bridging relevance and readability. Now, thanks to Adaptive Reader, we can meet readers in their home language and support them with even more accessible and decodable features grounded in the science of reading — while keeping the powerful experience of books in hand."

- Louise Baigelman, Founder and CEO of Storyshares

Adaptive Reader's platform enables publishers to transform books into uniquely leveled, multilingual, and accessible editions — complete with print-ready files, synced audio, and QR code access. These editions are dynamically generated, ensuring every version is properly formatted based on language, reading level, and accessibility needs.

"Struggling readers don't need more apps. They need real books — in the language they understand, at the level they can access, with scaffolds that preserve their dignity. We're honored to help bring Storyshares' powerful content into more hands and homes."

- Ethan Pierce, Founder of Adaptive Reader

The translated titles will be available for purchase on adaptivereader.com and directly through Storyshares. Future phases of the partnership will expand Decode Mode support across more titles and will introduce new differentiated tools for educators, including leveled editions, text adaptations, and enhanced classroom bundles designed to meet the needs of diverse learners.
