Common questions
Everything parents and grandparents ask before they start.
What is Covenant Reader?
Original, beautifully illustrated Christian stories for young children, ages 2–4 today. They aren't Bible retellings — they're everyday stories that each plant a single, Scripture-grounded truth and apply it to a child's world.
What ages is it for?
Ages 2–4 are live now. Ages 5–7 and 8–10 are opening soon.
Who writes and reviews the stories?
Every story is carefully crafted to teach sound biblical doctrine and help build Christian character by our founder, Brian Reinke (M.Div). Brian is a former pastor and father of three who loves teaching the Bible and seeing young hearts transformed by the gospel. He studied theology at Westminster Theological Seminary, earned his Master of Divinity from Cairn University, and has served on staff at three conservative, Bible-believing churches — so you can trust that every word is faithful to Scripture and rooted in God's love.
How much does it cost?
One simple Founding Family plan covers up to 4 children: $69/year or $7.99/month at founding launch pricing. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, cancel anytime. You can also read our free sample stories with no account at all.
What happens when my trial ends? Will I be charged?
Your 14-day trial is free. If you cancel before day 14, you're never charged. Otherwise it continues automatically at the founding price ($69/year or $7.99/month), and you can cancel anytime from your account.
What devices does it work on?
Read on the web at covenantreader.com, or in our iOS and Android apps — with downloads for offline reading on car rides and in waiting rooms. One account works across all your family's devices.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. A one-year gift has no shipping and starts the night it's redeemed — a perfect gift from grandparents.
Is this just more screen time?
It's a quieter kind of screen moment: no ads, no autoplay, no endless feed — just finite stories, plus a short parent note for conversation afterward.
How do you protect my child's privacy?
Accounts belong to adults; a child profile stores only a nickname and reading level — never an email or photo. We don't run ads or place third-party trackers on the pages your child reads, and you can delete your account and its data yourself anytime.
How does the library grow, and how often do new stories arrive?
Each child's library opens with 5 stories in their reading level. Then 3 new stories are added every week — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. When your child is ready to move up a level, they keep everything they've already collected and start receiving the new level's stories too. If a subscription lapses, we remember the library and restore it when you come back.
