Why Deep Reading Matters for Your Child

Today, many children spend more time consuming than reading and creating.

 

Without the right kind of stories, they miss the chance to imagine, develop their own voices, and connect in special ways.

Deep reading is where growth begins.

Grow into a confident young creator

Built Through Real Family Experience

Through this storymaking journey, my boys realized they could DO THINGS THAT MATTERED. They weren’t just learning—they were CREATING SOMETHING MEANINGFUL.

​​

It gave them a safe space to SHARE ideas, BUILD their own world, and GROW in confidence. And more than anything, it created something rare—real conversations where we talked WITH THEM, not AT THEM.

Why I Created These Stories

Rick Williams: Biotech Entrepreneur, Grandfather, Author, and Storymaking Guide

What started as a simple idea, creating stories with my grandchildren, became something much bigger.

As a CEO, I mentored the next generation of leaders.
Now, I pass on life lessons to preteens and teens through storymaking.

I don’t just guide story development… I walk alongside each young collaborator traveling on a personal Hero’s Journey.

Even our 1:1 “business meetings” at restaurants become part of the adventure.

Over time, I realized something important:
Storymaking has always been at the center of how I think, lead, and develop innovations.

A Growing Community of Young Readers

Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with students other than my grandchildren.

These Story Apprentices have played an active role in developing new novels, workbooks, and short stories.

I’m also helping one of the Story Apprentices to write his own YA novel.

Perfect for families who want to start creating right away.
