STORY SHIFU....MORE THAN JUST READING

Story Shifu is dedicated to bringing the "4 legs of learning" to families across Asia. Where test performance and test readiness dominate much of the school day, learning how to learn independently and think critically often gets squeezed out. Even worse, rote learning and heavy homework loads mean that kids risk negatively associating "reading" with school work and school pressure.

Story Shifu works with parents to plant critical thinking skills and  the love of reading  in children's earliest school years. Recognizing that even in pressure-packed school environments like China and Hong Kong, more than 50% of a child's time is still spent at home, we provide books, courses, and family learning activities that help parents build four important skills into kids' daily routines:

English Reading Skills - reading confidently, fluently, and passionately.

Reading Comprehension - understanding and interpreting stories

Questioning - asking and answering questions to develop critical thinking

Storytelling - presenting facts, ideas, and opinions as structured, convincing stories.

Story Shifu's English critical reading courses and activities pair story-themed, hands-on learning activities with children's favorite stories. Built on US Common Core Standards, our courses use highly interactive, immersive content and technology to help ELL students and reluctant readers built the skills and confidence that they need to succeed.
