Good Afternoon!
Storytelling is a big part of our day. Some of the stories we hear are fact and real while other stories are made up using children’s imagination. As teachers, it’s important that we listen to these stories, asking important questions or helping children continue on with their story. There are several options we offer to allow children to express these stories in a different way if they wish. For example, children can go to the art table and create a book using specific, important events from their story or the housekeeping area is always available for children to act out their story.
I’ve attached an article that gives a few suggestions for how to strengthen this aspect of a child’s literacy development. Certain activities or events in a child’s life make for great storytelling!
