Reading and writing

What the student does
The student writes a story of their own in six guided steps. A guiding character accompanies them along the way, gives feedback and corrects. At the end the story is printed, with their name on the cover.
Six simple steps, and a whole story is born
At the end of the process there is something tangible to read, listen to, print and be proud of.
A real printed book · Oranim Kindergarten, 2026
Illustrations created specifically for their story, page after page, with their name on the title page.
The character accompanies the writing, suggests corrections and gives feedback, so the student improves as they go.
The story is printed as a booklet that goes home. Parents read, the student reads aloud, and the success continues after the bell.
A report for the teacher and parents that shows the student's natural coping channels, as they emerge through the story they wrote.
The school program
The festival is the school program built on the platform: an author visit and a creative writing session, writing on the platform, printing, and a festival the school holds for parents.
Students' author Galia Oz comes to the school, opens the experience and leads a creative writing session.
Every student writes their story in StoryGarden, in six steps, with the guiding character.
The stories are printed. Every student holds a booklet of their own.
The school holds a festival: parents are invited, students present their books.
Campaigns and peak weeks
The festival closes the process with a moment the whole school remembers: parents are invited, the printed books are on display, and every student is an author for one evening.
The pedagogical base
StoryGarden is built on the BASIC Ph resilience model by Prof. Mooli Lahad, one of the world's pioneers of emotional resilience research. The model has been used for some 30 years to train therapists and educators, and we translated it into a digital experience students love.
What schools say
Such a moving and meaningful collaboration. I'm sure we'll keep working together.
