Build Your Story software was founded in 2003 by a group of teachers and students striving to implement "teaching through personalization". I think this is an effective model because I look at all the things my teachers taught me and it wasn't until something was personalized that it really imprinted in my mind. This software makes a story come to life in the eyes of a child because it uses characters to the students preferences in age, gender, ethnicity, and reading level. Each story is unique to the student and ensures reading comprehension. Build Your Story software has been displayed on CBS Saturday Morning Show and are featured in educational catalogs and bookstores. There are stories that deal with the Creation Story, sports, and what you will be when you grow up. These stories help the development of children to become better readers through positive self esteem and reinforcement. I remember "Storybook Weaver Deluxe" when I was learning to read and write and I think of how valuable it was to my own development of reading and writing.

However, the only question I do have is, are there other books aside from the the three I found listed on the site? I would be interested to see them.
