Welcome to Storying - Where Every Child Is an Author
Empower Your Students to Create, Read, and Share Stories
“Children need books that are mirrors that allow them to see themselves and their own experiences. Windows they can look through to see other worlds that they then can compare to their own. Sliding glass doors that allow them to enter other worlds.”
Inspired by Research, Crafted for Engagement
At the heart of Storying lies a wealth of educational research underscoring the importance of representation, engagement, and interactivity in literacy. Drawing from the groundbreaking concepts introduced by Rudine Sims Bishop and supported by modern studies, Storying offers a bridge between academic theories and classroom reality, ensuring every child finds a mirror, window, and sliding glass door within their stories.
