More about STORYWORLD in the classroomA broad range of embedded multimodal, multilingual and multisensory tools provides encouragement and support for a variety of learning styles.
STORYWORLD was developed with support from the U.S. Department of Education with research provided by West Ed.
See the learning science behind STORYWORLD“Students demonstrated statistically significant increases in their motivation to read, Self-Concept as a Reader, and Value of Reading...Students eagerly read multiple books in a single session, going beyond the prescribed requirement of only one book.”
“Teachers articulated that the STORYWORLD product would be a very useful tool in their classrooms and could be integrated into their curriculum for ELA or ELL support.”
“I’ve never seen anything like this, and I’ve been teaching for 16 years! The games go deeper than just multiple choice—it models what a teacher does.”
