Stories We Share, Imagination We Build: An Oral Storytelling Workshop In-Person
Children love to hear a good story, especially when told by those who love them best. There’s a
special connection that happens when adults and children co-create a timeless tale; their
imaginations breathe life into our words. This creative process also builds strong literacy skiIls. In
this workshop, we will listen to stories. We will talk about stories. We will practice storytelling.
And we will build confidence to tell short Aesop fables, like The Tortoise and the Hare. No book
needed! We will also make story props to help us tell our new stories in different ways to young
listeners.
For Teachers, ECE's, Librarians, Parents and Caregivers
