Step-by-Story mobile apps help build reading readiness. They are carefully designed for pre-readers and early readers (kids from 2 - 6) to help them associate words, sounds and pictures in preparation for reading. Every element of this app is designed to keep your child focused on the right things. The screens feature large buttons that require press-and-hold, so they can't be pressed by accident. Stories are deliberately short and easy to create, so that the youngest of children can experience the fulfillment that comes from being able to complete a meaningful task without help from an adult.

When a child complete a story, their choices are turned in to a charmingly simple animated movie that can be shared with family and friends.

The app opens up to a “I need a break screen” that vocalizes “I need a break” when it is tapped. The screen then transitions to a red screen with an angry face and the number ten. With each tap the screen transitions to a calmer face and color. In this way, the app prompts the user to count backwards from ten followed by a deep breath. The app also includes a simple social story with line drawings about anger. The social story talks about feeling angry and things you can do, like counting to ten, breathing deeply and taking a break, to calm yourself down. The settings screen allows you to choose from male, female or no vocals for counting back from ten and for reading the social story out loud.
