Story Smarts is the key to reading comprehension success. Reading comprehension is a skill that is vital to academic success. Yet it receives little, if any, systematic attention in the early years of school. Story Smarts changes all that. Even if your child has not yet learned to read, you can use the program to give him or her competence in this vital realm. Developed by world-renowned educators, Dr. Marion Blank and Laura Berlin, Story Smarts includes 30 attractive, full color picture stories, grouped into two levels of complexity. These stories are sophisticated, but easy for your child to read and they enable you to teach the key components of comprehension, including the “main idea.” The stories advance steadily from simple to more complex and are designed so that a child always experiences mastery and success.

<p>Story comprehension! For children with autism spectrum disorders, achievement of this skill is one of the most cherished dreams. Yet, it is a dream that seems to remain out of reach. Even when the children are able to speak or read with a fair degree of skill, comprehension seems to elude them. The loss is significant and goes far beyond what we usually think of as story comprehension. The ability to understand stories is central to the recounting of events such as talking about what happened during the day, or over the weekend, what is happening now and what is happening to others. Conversations of this type call upon the same skills as story comprehension. Consequently, story comprehension represents an overarching skill with major benefits for verbal communication. Steps to Stories is designed to give children—regardless of whether or not they can read—access to this critical ability. Using advances in linguistic and cognitive research, it offers parents and professionals a program that will start children on the path to story comprehension.
