You will gain insight on:
• How to choose suitable stories for different age groups;
• How to tell stories in ways that captivate young children’s attention, imagination and curiosity;
• Why storytelling works as a powerful teaching strategy; and
• How storytelling can catalyse rich learning inquiries.
