PopStory!! is a web-based reading practice platform built around one simple promise: every story shows its working. Rather than dumping unlabelled texts on a reader, it publishes each story with its cast, setting and structural plan laid out, and pins the piece to a reading level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 or native) so learners can self-select difficulty with confidence.
The library covers twelve languages, including English, Welsh, German, Spanish, French, Esperanto, Latin, Ancient Greek, Japanese, Korean and Russian, and each text is illustrated scene by scene in one of a range of styles such as watercolour, storybook, charcoal, felt, claymation or woodcut. Content is grouped into four reader audiences (adults, children, family, teens) alongside genre filters like mystery, folktale, adventure, horror and heist, so a parent, teacher or self-study learner can find something appropriate quickly.
Everything on the site is free to read and requires no account. The site states that its stories are written, illustrated and published automatically, which explains the steadily growing catalogue visible as a numbered "All 32" listing. A YouTube channel and Instagram and Facebook accounts are linked for updates.
Pick a short A2 or B1 story in your target language, read it with picture support, and build fluency without dictionary hunting.
Use the children and family categories to find short illustrated tales to read together, including lesser-taught languages like Welsh.
Choose a level-appropriate text with a stated plan and setting, then use the illustrated scenes as discussion prompts.
