About us and Our Story

At Pretzel Learning, LLC, we believe speech therapy materials should be as joyful as they are effective. We’re not just another publisher—we’re a creative team on a mission to help speech-language pathologists, assistants, and families make every session feel like an adventure.

Our stories and resources are speech-therapy-focused from the very first idea—crafted to target specific sounds, encourage language growth, and spark genuine engagement. Each book blends bright, friendly illustrations with purposeful repetition, sequencing, and vocabulary that make therapy goals easier to reach.

What makes us different? We’re not chasing trends or mass-producing generic content. Every Pretzel Learning story is built with careful attention to therapy needs and the student’s experience so that materials are adaptable for mixed-age groups, accessible for varied learning levels, and free from overly processed food references or distracting pop culture.

And because we believe in empowering our community, we’ve launched what we proudly call The Freebie Revolution™. Our Pretzel Bean Club Members receive a brand-new digital storybook every month—free forever—plus exclusive early access to upcoming titles and bonus resources.

We know there are bigger, older names in the market. But Pretzel Learning is proof that “smaller” can mean more personal, more thoughtful, and more invested in your success. Our goal is simple: give you tools you’ll actually love to use—because when you’re inspired, your students will be too.

Can I share my Pretzel Learning materials with other therapists or teachers?

Your purchase or free member download is licensed for personal or single-clinic use only. If a colleague would like a copy, please direct them to our website so they can join the Pretzel Bean Club or purchase their own copy. This helps us keep offering high-quality free resources each month.

Are your materials only for speech therapists?

Not at all. While our resources are designed for SLPs and SLPAs, many teachers, homeschool families, and parents can use them to support speech and language development at home or in the classroom.

How do I know your books will work for my students?

We design our materials with feedback from real speech therapy professionals and test them in a variety of settings. Each story is easy to adapt for different skill levels, making them effective tools for mixed-age and mixed-ability groups.

How can I give feedback or request a specific type of story?

We love hearing from our community! If you have an idea for a theme, speech sound target, or setting, you can reach out via our contact page or email us at inbox@pretzellearning.com.
