When is it strorytime?
Anytime! Believe me, there are so many opportunities for telling a story, and not just at bedtime!
|
●
|
during car trips
|
|
●
|
when the kids are bored or fussy
|
|
●
|
at family gatherings
|
|
●
|
at meals
|
|
●
|
or whenever there is a spare moment.
|
Your child will cherish the moment. Let go of your inhibitions and tell from the heart. Your storytelling doesn't not have to be perfect, it just has to be you.
How are storytelling and learning to read connected?
If you tell stories that come from books, the children almost always want to read those books. Children like to work with things that are familiar. When they first break into reading and using words, if they start with a story that has been read aloud to them, this feels safer.
