Every Student Deserves to Thrive
We equip educators with research-based assessment, intervention,
and training tools to improve language development, reading comprehension,
and writing performance for all pre-school and primary grade students.
Innovative Solutions to help your students excel in
language, reading and writing.
60-80% of students in U.S. schools do not meet grade level expectations in reading comprehension and writing. This poor academic performance is largely due to a lack of focus on language, which is the foundation for academic success.
Our innovative assessments and interventions help educators address the academic needs of all their students so that students can reach their full potential.
Language solutions for academic success

The Students Crisis
60-80% of students do not read at grade level. Previous approaches to address this issue have failed because they have not focused on the root problem- language. We provide language assessment and intervention approaches that are valid and that have research evidence of significantly improving reading for the first time ever for all students.
Customer Testimonials
Read what customers have to say about our products
It was amazing to see the growth in all the students with intellectual disabilities and they really enjoyed the therapy, especially the opportunity to tell their own stories! I definitely noticed an increase in their attention to the problem in each story rather than just pulling out insignificant details from the stories.
I think Story Champs is revolutionary! It focuses on the more important aspect of reading, which is comprehension. With the actions and constant student involvement, it is fun and successful. Having the vocabulary and transition word focus incorporated into the program brings it to the next level and paves the way for carry over when students are reading / listening on their own.
My students have enjoyed Story Champs, but my students’ parents have absolutely loved the results. Every aspect of language is addressed by this program! Teachers have reported that children are more confident in classroom discussions. Story Champs is the spark that can ignite the language flame in the most reserved and reticent child!
