What Makes LitSteps Different




Learn Through Connection

Learning grows through shared moments between parent and child.

Children build confidence through:

• Shared reading and conversation
• Hands-on learning activities
• Playful skill-building experiences
• Gentle step-by-step guidance


Gentle Step-by-Step Learning

LitSteps was created to help children build skills naturally over time  alongside family members who love them best.

The Learning Path:

• Begins with foundational concepts
• Builds confidence gradually
• Encourages movement, play, and conversation
• Supports learning through stories and exploration


Support for Families

Parents are a child's first guides. LitSteps provides the books, ideas, and gentle structure that help those everyday learning moments grow.

LitSteps provides:

• Simple guided activities
• Flexible, family-friendly learning
• Developmentally appropriate pacing
• Encouragement rooted in connection and confidence


How LitSteps Grew

Hi, I’m Helen Deasy, an educator, illustrator, and creator of LitSteps and the Piglits.

After nearly 20 years of teaching and learning alongside young children, I discovered that children grow best through connection, encouragement, and shared experiences. I created LitSteps to help families build strong learning foundations through stories, playful activities, and little steps that grow confidence over time.
