Our Story

For many years, we have talked about how to sow and grow a seed into an educational product that would serve the unique needs of neurodiverse learners who are not only dyslexic, but also have ADHD, autism, and other neurodevelopmental differences. Now, we provide neurodiverse learners with the highest quality decodable books, Tumbleweed StretchTexts, they deserve.

Our innovative StretchTexts avoid visual distractions and allow students the ability to focus on the enormously challenging task of decoding yet also provide the very enjoyable experience of viewing rich illustrations and eye-catching photography.

By embracing a multitude of perspectives as we create our StretchTexts, we combat stereotypes and also celebrate the unique backgrounds of each student, nurturing a sense of inclusion and belonging.
