This digital storybook was a part of Pretzel Learning’s FREEBIE REVOLUTION™! Each month, a new storybook is posted online FOR FREE for a limited time. This book was FREE from January 21st to 31st, 2026. Do not worry, you get another chance every month! Pretzel Learning, LLC is new around here and is more than thrilled to post this storybook for your digital library! As a BONUS, we have also included an articulation data tracker to integrate tracking data seamlessly, as well as a PowerPoint version of the book for convenience.

BEFORE YOU PURCHASE! This book is a part of a four-book /s/ blend bundle. In the bundle, a minimal pair card game uses all four books together to create a fun and effective game for /s/ blend practice.

Join Stacey Tay, a beautiful young skunk, on an /s/ blend journey as she walks her favorite path in the woods near her home. As she enjoys the scenery around her, she fails to notice a sharp branch catch hold of her scarf and begin to unravel it! Will Stacey find out about her scarf in time to mend it? Will anyone else notice the new strand of pink dancing string before she does?

We at Pretzel Learning believe an /s/ blend storybook should be written by a human, be funny, and full of all sorts of /s/ blends and consonant clusters. Enjoy a delightful data articulation tracker that follows the story, line by line. We feel proud to have created a product that caters to both individual and group therapy sessions. Perfect for turn-taking, and you can keep all your data in one place! Practice word, phrase, sentence, and conversation-level sounds. There is space on the tracker to track other sound goals, which works wonderfully for that one student who needs more articulation sounds beyond /s/ blends.

*Thank you for downloading! As a sprouting speech material company, we would appreciate honest reviews and feedback. Questions can be directed to inbox@pretzellearning.com.

*Printing the book itself is not recommended because of the depth of color in the illustration. PDF and PowerPoint versions are included in this bundle for convenience.

*The articulation data tracker is intended to print in color and has not been tested for digital data taking.

This book provides material for the following speech goals: /s/ blends, /s/ consonant clusters, articulation data tracking, inferencing, story parts, story retell, narrative retell, compare and contrast, items in a category, and wh-questions.
