Frequently Asked Questions:


Is Ziptales available on the iPad?

Yes! Over 150+ stories and modules are now available to view on the iPad and we are working hard on the rest. To view them just go to www.ziptales.com on your iPad device and you will be re-directed automatically. Apps coming very soon!

Are we able to track the pupils work?

This is possible in a few different ways. The first is to use our pupil tracking sheets either in PDF or Microsoft Excel formats.

The second way depending on the type of tracking you would like to do, is to use our story map.

The third way, is if your school currently uses a compatible LMS system (so that your pupils already have a login), we can track all activity automatically without your pupils needing to remember multiple passwords!

Ziptales uses both Flesch and Lexiles as well as our own unique global reading difficulty scheme to guide teachers about selection of texts.
