We recommend this method for downloading Story Champs® digital assets. A zip file will be downloaded to your computer. Once it is saved to your desired location on your computer and expanded, you will have an organized file folder structure containing all the assets you need to access and print.
OPTION 2: Download digital assets individually
The Story Champs® digital presentation is intended to be an alternative to using the printed illustrations and icons. The digital presentation can be used for most Story Champs procedures, and can be very helpful for whole class implementation or when Blitz Levels C-J are used. It is accessible on a browser and it not intended for download. We recommend bookmarking the presentation in your browser for future use.
The Story Champs® manual lays out the importance of systematic and explicit language instruction. It is an important document to review before beginning intervention with a student.
The Master Lesson Plans are a necessary component of Story Champs. They outline the step-by-step procedures and systematic scaffolding necessary to ensure the program is effective. These steps should not be modified or eliminated from the lesson. Unless an interventionist is extremely familiar with the lesson plan steps, a Master Lesson Plan should be referred to during every lesson. The Tables of Contents, which are at the beginning of each section for large group, small group, individual, and Add On Lesson Plans, are helpful to determine which lesson plan is needed to teach a specific target.
- There are 57 Master Lesson Plans grouped by large group, small group, and individual delivery arrangements, and 8 Add On Lesson Plans that augment the Master Lesson Plans.
- It is recommended to print the set of lesson plans and organize them in a binder for easy access. Alternatively, a single lesson plan can be printed and used repeatedly.
- Lesson plans can also be displayed digitally on a tablet or computer.

Information Pattern Blocks
Information Pattern Blocks offer a visual structure to help make abstract or new information more concrete.
Classroom Center Activities offer young students additional practice with story structure through student-directed activities; Activities include sequencing the illustrations, drawing stories in a strip, and drawing pictures to create a book and dictating the story to an adult.
Picture Sequencing
The multi-page PDF includes illustrated sequencing cards (with or without story grammar icons) and sequencing boards for students to learn and master sequencing. They can also practice telling the story while looking at the sequence. See printing instructions on cover.
Story Strips
This PDF includes blank story sequencing strips that include basic story structure (Character, Problem, Feeling, Action, Ending) so that students can be encouraged to draw and tell their own stories. See printing instructions on cover.
Storybooks
This PDF contains pages to print and make small storybooks for students who are ready to create their own storybooks through illustration and writing. Younger students can dictate their story and have an adult write what students say at the bottom of each page. Printing instructions: Print ‘actual size’ to make sure the margins print correctly. Make several copies of them and cut them in half on the dotted lines. Order sheets and staple them into books.
Take Home Activities give your student an opportunity to extend academic language interactions into the home. They correspond to the Level A and B stories (Classic and Blitz). The activity that corresponds to the story used at school should be sent home with the students.
