Stories for Life is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to teaching children the art of storytelling.
Our flagship program, Owning Their Words, is a language arts curriculum that enables children to develop their oral and written skills through storytelling.  Developed in conjunction with South Carolina State Education Standards, Owning Their Words is a powerful teaching tool that fosters an appreciation for the oral tradition while at the same time, profoundly enhancing students' ability to become more effective communicators.
