National Storytelling week

Next week is National Storytelling Week

Why don't you have a go at storytelling as a family?

In school we sometimes sit in a circle and ask each child to add a part/sentence to help to create a made up story. The adults role is to help to move the story on and give the story structure. The more you do it the better your child will get at structuring, and telling stories.

Why not ask your child to tell you or their brother/sister their favourite story?

Perhaps mum or dad could make up a story for bedtime? 

Here is a link to some strategies to get children to tell stories.
