Prioritise the strongest evidence
StoryLoop looks for moments with clear learning, child agency, problem solving, communication, relationships, or repeated interest so educators can start with the highest-value stories.
Backlog Rescue
Sort the week’s observations before writing every story.
Backlog Rescue helps educators paste multiple rough notes, then identify which moments deserve a full learning story and which can become short updates or be combined.
Start with what actually happened: one action, quote, attempt, change, or question. A polished observation is never required.
StoryLoop drafts and checks. The educator reviews, edits, decides what is true, and chooses whether anything is shared.
What StoryLoop does with a note
A rough note in, a learning story out.
A real note an educator typed, and the start of the draft StoryLoop wrote from it, unedited, with the Te Whāriki links, learning and next steps to follow.
Aroha tried to put her shoes on before going outside. Velcro kept folding over. Asked 'help me' then pushed my hand away and did the second one herself. Stood up and stomped both feet.
Putting on her own shoes
Before going outside, Aroha tried to put her shoes on by herself. The Velcro kept folding over, making the job trickier. Aroha asked, "help me", letting us know clearly that she needed support.
When help was offered, Aroha pushed the adult hand away and did the second shoe herself. Once both shoes were on, she stood up and stomped both feet. This looked like Aroha checking that her shoes were on and feeling the result with her whole body.
Now try it with your own note. No signup.
Type what you saw today. StoryLoop writes the draft here, with Te Whāriki or EYLF V2.0 links, and shows you exactly what it is built on.
No signup for your first try. Use a first name or initial only.
Your draft appears here, with curriculum links that only claim what your note shows, usually in under a minute.
Tip: what the child did, one thing they said, and what happened next. Three lines is plenty.

Short update or full story
Not every observation needs a full story. Backlog Rescue suggests a practical documentation level so educators can clear backlog without lowering quality.
Move from sorting to drafting
Once a candidate is selected, the cleaned observation can move straight into the learning story generator with the educator still reviewing the final draft.
FAQ
Straight answers for educators.
Does Backlog Rescue write all stories at once?+
No. It sorts and prioritises first, then educators choose which observation to draft.
Is it useful for centres?+
Yes. It is especially useful when teams are catching up after a busy week and need a calm way to decide what to document first.
Does StoryLoop replace educator thinking?+
No. StoryLoop supports drafting and structure, while educators remain responsible for observation, interpretation, reflection, final editing, and sign-off.
Can I edit the generated stories?+
Yes. Stories are editable after generation and saved in history, so educators can add context, adjust wording, copy, export, or regenerate from the original observation.
Does it create generic AI stories?+
StoryLoop is designed to avoid generic, poetic AI wording. It asks for real observations, keeps claims evidence-based, and links curriculum only when the observation supports it.
How many stories are free?+
The free plan includes 3 learning stories per month. Upgrade prompts are dismissible, and existing history remains available even if the free limit is reached.
