“Sometimes my students don’t listen to me. But, they always listen to the animated character named Maria! If she says blueberries are a superfood and good for you, my students trust her and want to eat blueberries. No matter what.”

"With Story Maker® the students will keep working and working on their writing. It is the first time I have seen students look at their writing and say: 'Nope, it's not ready yet; it's not good enough. I need to write it again.’"
