Introduce Storytelling in your School’s CurriculumWord is spreading about the relevance of storytelling in schools and the number of storytellers in schools is growing worldwide.
Imagine how excited the students and teachers will be to attend an assembly or workshop presented by international storytellers.
➠ Storytelling provides those all-important points of entry:
As a learning tool, storytelling encourages students to explore their unique expressiveness and heighten a student’s ability to communicate thoughts and feelings in an articulate, lucid manner.
➠ Multi-sensory Development in the Storytelling Classroom:
Through telling stories students gain presentation skills, knowledge of their subject, and learn through teaching and sharing with others.
➠ Storytelling for Special Needs Children:
Storytelling is also a fabulous tool to develop the listening and concentration of late developers or children with special needs; as well as to engage and draw their attention in a way that is enjoyable and less stressful for them. Storytelling also encourages language and reading development and can be integrated into a variety of curriculum areas.
