WE EMPOWER YOU WITH THE KNOWLEDGE & TOOLS YOU NEED TO BUILD SOCIAL LANGUAGE & LITERACY SKILLS FOR YOUR SCHOOL-AGED STUDENTS
About Story Stage
We help build social language and literacy skills for K-12 students. Our lessons, curriculums, and games are serious in their purpose, but fun, effective and evidence based in their implementation.
We hope to empower speech therapists, counselors, educators & parents with the knowledge and resources they need to help kids communicate well at every stage of their story.
About Rebekah & Leigh
We are both therapists, parents of kids who learn differently, and really good friends. (We even live in the same neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas!) We are so glad you're here!
Evidence-Based and Proven
You can feel confident knowing that every product and program we build is the result of 25 + years of professional experience combined with the most current peer reviewed research in the fields of speech-language pathology, literacy, and educational neuroscience.
Two collections are available with 75+ scripted lessons in each. Choose our Elementary OR Middle/High School curriculum. Both engage students in evidence based games and activites that teach kids to:
- Read & use body language
- Interpret facial expressions
- Use practical strategies for making conversation
- Tell the story of their day in an organized way
- Describe an event or experience
- Build vocabulary for emotions
- Learn when best to text, call or email
- ...and so much more!

The Story Walk Ruler has been a great tool for my daughter who has disorganized language. I pull it out when she is struggling to tell a story about what happened at recess or what she learned in school. For a Mom who has struggled hearing broken stories over and over, this ruler has been a game changer!

This is the best activity for inferencing that I’ve ever seen! What a creative way for children to work on this much needed reading skill. I loved watching my kids read the Conversation Mystery scenes and get excited about trying to figure out if the character talking was a Mom or a Teacher or a Skateboarder.

“The spoken word, being able to put thoughts together in some kind of an understandable sequence, is the prerequisite to being able to write, and everyone wants the children to be able to write.”
