Polylino – A digital picture book service for UK nursery schools

Bringing the magic of storytime to every child!

Polylino is a digital picture book service for nursery schools which provides hundreds of high-quality UK picture books which align with the EYFS curriculum.

The user-friendly digital solution is ideally suited to:

• Support EAL, SEND and disadvantaged children
• Improve access to high-quality books for children in the nursery and at home
• Support language and literacy development in line with the EYFS framework

For each book on Polylino, a teacher or child can:

• Listen to it in English – many books can also be listened to in multiple languages
• Browse the pages of a book
• Mute the audio to allow someone else to read the book out loud
• Bookmark their favourite parts
• Zoom in on the text or artwork
• Turn on/off text highlighting

To ensure that the quality of the books on Polylino meet the standards of the EYFS curriculum, we partnered with Jake Hope as our Children’s Literature Expert to curate our digital library and to write our Teacher Guide.

He has personally chosen each book from our UK publisher partners to ensure they align with the EYFS framework.

“Polylino offers a carefully curated library at children’s fingertips – a real treasure trove of titles to suit all tastes and subjects, all at the touch of a screen”

Originally developed in Sweden, Polylino is hugely successful across the Nordic region, and is now available in many other European countries and North America.

When you sign up for Polylino, you know that you’re joining a network of like-minded teachers who are striving to support language development in all young children.

“Staff have found Polylino extremely user-friendly and have loved being able to share stories with children in their home language”
