Story Maker is Great!
Posted TODAY by Renee N.

This product is great for my 1st grader that is learning to read. She is able to use the words to make her own stories that she can read. It is a great product to use on the fridge or on a metal pan in the car.
I would highly recommend this product for any young reader.
Very engaging!

My students are having great fun putting phrases together. They are color coded for parts of speech and written so second graders can read them with little trouble. Their one flaw is they should be a little bigger. The tiny text isn't ideal for several students working in a small area to be able to see eachother's work and the magnets are small enough to be a challenge for anyone with poor dexterity. Other than that they are an engaging tool for my literacy centers.

A fun educational product

I recently took my two children to the Boulder Museum of History, for a summer's day outing. The summer's almost over, and I'm still doing interesting things with them, while toning down the carnival/circus disney crazyness, and focusing on the educational/gearing up for back to school. The museum was great, but the part they loved best was the 'discovery room', and the metal circles on the walls, with the Story Maker words. They could've spent all day just there, so at home that night, I ordered this kit online. Sure enough, now that it's in, and on our walls on a metal magnetic board in the hallway, our hallway has become a fun place to play for them, my husband and I, and their friends.

My son has poor handwriting, which makes him reluctant to write sentences. I bought this for him so he could practice making his own sentences without the stress of handwriting. We played around with the words on the fridge and he enjoyed it and has made some sentences on his own without prompting. This is a good product, but I think it could be a little better with more words, and that is the reason I didn't give it full stars. It comes with a little handbook to give you some inspiration, which I found very helpful.
