Successful learners start with Story Friends

How do children become successful readers and learners? It’s a story that starts in their earliest years, when they acquire the language and literacy skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives. Sometimes, though, the story gets off track when young children struggle to learn and understand new words. Intervene early and keep these kids from falling behind with Story Friends™, a fun and engaging language intervention program for 4- to 6-year-olds.

Through 26 interactive storybooks about funny, relatable animals, Story Friends effectively boosts the early language skills that predict success in reading. Not only does Story Friends introduce children to challenging new words—from enormous to exhausted—it also helps kids master key concept words like high, low, many, and few, which will help them learn new academic content faster and easier. And through the lessons woven into the animals’ vibrantly illustrated stories, children strengthen other important skills, such as solving problems, empathizing, and working together.
