How to play Story Builder

Pick a word for each blank from the choices offered. When the story is complete, press play to hear it read aloud — usually with giggles. Then build a new story with new words.

What your child learns

Why it works at this age

Filling the blanks in a silly story is vocabulary practice disguised as comedy. Hearing the finished story read aloud, with their own word choices in it, shows a five-year-old that words change meaning, which is the beginning of real comprehension.
