  2. VARIETY in storytelling • Draw and tell • Media: Tapes / cd / movie / computer • Puppets • Individual or group make up • Flipcharts • Slide stories / roller pictures • Flannel boards • Props

  3. Variety in music • Listen to music • Finger play or actions • Sing / chant • Movement (large and small) • Instruments • Rhythm • props

  4. StoryTelling : • More than just reading a book. It provides experiences. • Included in the daily schedule. • Develops an appreciation of books. • Teaches a child about the world and people around them and how to handle these. • Models acceptable behavior and positive relationships. • Develop listening skills. • Develops reading and language skills.

  5. Selecting Books for Children • A story is only effective if the children and teacher enjoy it. • Fictional content • Reflect the child’s development level, interests, and experiences. • Illustrations • Pictures should almost tell the story themselves • Brightly colored, large and clearly defined objects, and avoid unneeded detail. • Vocabulary • Mostly familiar words and only introduces a few new words. • Repetition of words increases enjoyment and familiarity

  6. Storytelling Selection: • Durability • Children should be able to hold, carry, and turn the pages of the books. • Length • Infants and Toddlers – focus for a few minutes • 2 year olds – focus for 5-8 minutes • 3 year olds – focus for 6-10 minutes • 4 year olds – focus for 8-12 minutes • 5 year olds – focus for 10-15 minutes

  7. Storytelling Selection: • Avoid stories that reinforce stereotypes • Age Appropriate

  8. The Storytelling experience • Prepare to read the story • Become familiar with the story • Decide how you will present the story and practice this • Introduce the story and create a feeling that something special is about to happen • Ask questions • Make a personal comment • Show the book cover • Make a prediction based on a certain page in the story • Show a prop that relates with the story. • Define new words

  9. Begin Telling The Story.. • Show the front of the book and Read the title and the Author • Ask the children to predict what the book will be about. • Take a picture walk and talk about the pictures. • I wonder why the insects are hiding? • Teach reading skills: • Books have pictures and words – which do we read ? • Pages turn from left to right • Books have a front and a back • Books are to be right side up when reading

  10. CHARACTERISTICS of a Good STORY TELLER: Voice - Change tone & pitch to make the story come alive Facial Expression Eye Contact Speed - Slow Down, follow child’s cue Volume - Loud enough for whole group Speak Clearly Talk about the pictures – you do not have to read the words or the entire story Have fun with the story

  11. Tell the story • Storytelling is like putting on a play. Remember eye contact. • Handling Interruptions • Address comments and Answer questions as they occur. If this becomes excessive, hold all questions and comments until the end. • Maintaining interest • Watch children’s laughter, expressions, and stillness • Use emphasis, talk faster, skip parts, ask questions • Ending the Story • The ending should be clear – “What did you like / learn?”
