Braidy the StoryBraid is an emergent literacy instructional tool – a child-sized puppet –that is the early childhood version of the Story Grammar Marker. Braidy is used to support narrative development in young children. The goal of Braidy, the StoryBraid is to foster the oral language development necessary for young childrens skills in listening & reading comprehension, writing, critical thinking and social-emotional growth.
