How SETX Cooperative uses Storytime AI to tell every student's story
For many of my students, this was the first time they saw their ideas displayed like every other child's work in the hallway. The illustrations gave my students immense pride and ownership in their writing.
Students with autism and language-based communication needs struggled to develop the characters, settings, and details that bring creative writing to life — and their finished illustrated books rarely made it onto the hallway walls alongside their peers'.
