You Asked, We Listened

Dear Storyworks teachers,

I can’t say it often enough: Everything that works in Storyworks can be traced back to a suggestion by one of you. And never has that been more true than now, when we are facing such unprecedented challenges. Your suggestions are enabling us to continually evolve so that our resources can transform your students’ learning lives, wherever they are. Here are just a few examples:

  • Our Skill Builders are now offered as both Horizontal Google Slides , designed to fit phones, tablets, and computers, and Vertical PDFs , designed to easily print or project in your classroom.
  • New editor read-alouds for plays help model fluent reading and expression for your students.
  • Audio read-alouds now include special ideas and messages for your students!
  • New cover slide decks offer support for our cover illustration and its caption.

What else can we do to make your teaching experience easier and more joyful? Let us know via email at [email protected] or by posting on our Facebook page. I hope to hear from you!

Warmly,

Lauren
