  2. Why is storytelling important? • It promotes children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development • Helps develop love for stories and books • Enhances language development • Develops understanding of customs and culture through traditional stories

  3. Children’s Books • Most can be divided into two main groups: picture books and storybooks . . . • Picture books – single words or simple sentences and plots; some are wordless

  4. Children’s Books • Storybooks – often categorized as family life stories, animal stories and fairy tales; have more words and more complex plots than picture books

  5. Storybooks – A Closer Look • Help children understand how others feel, act, and think • Most built around themes of achievement, love, and reassurance • Examples: Peter Rabbit, Little Bear, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel

  6. Types of Stories • Family life stories: help children develop social understanding by sharing problems, troubles, and feelings of others (Ex. My Dog is Lost) • Animal stories: animals have some human qualities; animal hero has unusual success or ability (Ex. Little Brown Bear)

Avoiding Stories that Reinforce Stereotypes • Children’s stories need to be free of sexism, which is any action, attitude, or outlook used to judge a person based only on the sex of that person (Ex. Girls are supposed to help mom around the house • Look at ratio of men to women in illustrations • Notice how characters are described and what kinds of activities pictures show them doing

  11. Achieving Variety in Storytelling • Besides reading stories aloud, there are other creative methods that help storytelling come alive • Younger children in particular will stay interested longer when several methods are used during storytime

  12. Methods of Storytelling • Describe each of the following methods of storytelling: • Draw and Tell • Tapes • Puppets • Individual or Group Stories • Flipcharts • Slide Stories • Flannel Boards
