Stories brought vibrantly to life with voices, sound effects, action, and audience participation invite listeners to enter joyfully into the world of language and literature. The important lesson—that books and reading are FUN—is experienced with each story. Done with the whole learner in mind, storytelling engages linguistic, logical, musical, spatial, interpersonal, intra-personal, and kinesthetic learners alike, at the same time strengthening essential foundation skills such as listening, visualization, vocabulary acquisition, and comprehension. Storytelling is a Power Tool for Literacy!
Storytellers at the St. Louis Storytelling Festival have developed study guides to go with specific stories or story programs that they told at the Festival. Download a copy of the St. Louis Storytelling Festival Study Guide to learn more. |
